Ingredients
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced very fine
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
Lightly toasted baguette slices, for serving
Directions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the chipotle powder with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of the shrimp and toss to coat.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the seasoned shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F and are opaque throughout. Transfer cooked shrimp to a clean plate.
Pour the orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice into the same skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 1 minute to allow the juices to warm through.
Return all the shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the citrus sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Stir in the minced parsley just before serving.
Divide the shrimp and sauce among serving bowls or plates. Serve immediately alongside the toasted baguette slices for dipping into the pan sauce.
