INSTRUCTIONS
Make the Diablo Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a pan, stir in shallots,
garlic, and cumin, and saute for several minutes, until they are an even
golden brown. Adding one item at a time and stirring every ten seconds
between additions, add the chiles, ginger, and red peppers; when they are
all in, stir for 30 seconds more. Stir in the mango and toss briefly (15
seconds). Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil; reduce heat and
simmer 20 minutes to blend flavors and soften peppers. Puree in blender,
transfer to a bowl, season with lime juice and salt.
For the shrimp: Season shrimp lightly with salt. Set a frying pan over high
heat, add the oil, and when very hot and almost smoking, toss in the
shrimp. Toss and turn for a minute, then pour in enough of the Diablo Sauce
to coat well, and continue tossing and turning until the shrimp are fully
cooked, a minute or so more.
Notes: Diablo Sauce will keep for a week refrigerated, or may be frozen.
Serving Ideas: Serve over rice.
