    Shrimp With Sweet Toasty Garlic Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo, From Rick Bayless, this is shrimp cooked in a bath of garlic, which has itself been slowly cooked to make it sweet and elegant. The recipe calls for 2 chipotle chiles. Some people may want more–a lot of people will probably want less–chipotles are HOT–so, if you’re not sure, go easy and taste before you add all the chiles. This garlic “bath” is also wonderful with fish, and other seafood. It serves 6 generously as a main course, or more as an appetizer., I did not have recipe with me at the store and I bought diced chipotle peppers in a jar….will that work in recipe?, Fantastic. I Americanized it a bit by adding two limes instead of one to the sauce, so it was a little bit sweeter. Otherwise followed the recipe word for word. One of those recipes that people are super impressed by yet takes fairly little effort just have to cut up all the garlic. I looked up this recipe after having camarones al mogo de ajo at a Mexican restaraunt—honestly, this version was probably better.
