3/4 pound (12/15 count) shrimp (translation: 12 to 15 shrimp to a pound)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon lemon pepper (a mixed spice seasoning), or dried lemon peel
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile (may be replaced with cayenne pepper, but only after you've been to hell and back searching for chipotle)

Cilantro Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, stems discarded before measuring

  • Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat. Wait until oil is smoking hot, then place about 10 shrimp in it so that each has enough room to lie on its side. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
  • Serve hot, or at room temperature, with cilantro dipping sauce. For that special surreal touch, serve shrimp piled up on a barbie doll.

SHRIMP WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE

This is one of my favourite appetizers, adapted from The Surreal Gourmet. You can adjust the 'heat' by changing the amount of chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. I usually serve this as an appetizer over a mesclun mix of leaf lettuces, herbs, and tender greens.
