How to cook it
-
Toast the arbol and guajillo chiles in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side, then soak in hot water for 10 minutes.
-
Blend the softened chiles with the tomato and garlic into a smooth, fiery sauce.
-
Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the sauce for 6 minutes until it darkens and thickens.
-
Add the shrimp and salt and cook 4 minutes, just until pink and curled.
-
Serve immediately. This is the genuine upper end of the shelf's heat, and it is rare by design, since most guisados are cooked mild and the fire lives in the salsa instead.
