Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 to 8 fresh hot chilis (depending on the heat (see LC Note above))
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt
1/2 to 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the peppers and discard stems.
  • Place the chilis and their seeds, the garlic, lemon juice, salt, and as much of the oil as you wish in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and purée. Pour the mixture into a small glass jar and let steep for several days in the fridge.
  • You can strain the mixture and return it to jar, but I like mine with a bit of texture. Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your final dish. Choose fresh, ripe tomatoes, plump shrimp, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan or they will steam instead of sear. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Let the shrimp rest: After cooking the shrimp, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the shrimp, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your taste: The amount of piri piri sauce you add will determine the spiciness of the dish. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
