  • This is an amazing recipe. The chiles de Arbol are deliciously spicy without being too hot. I prepare an entrée for two by using 14 LARGE shrimp, 6 chopped garlic cloves. The rest of the ingredients remain the same. Served with steamed basmati or jasmine rice.

  • I love this recipe. I did do a few spins of my own based on variation close to this I adore, but at its base, this is amazing. 1 Spin I like is using clarified butter instead of olive oil. Spin 2 is add a Chili Pasilla and Spin 3 is sub cilantro for parsley.

  • Made this tonight as a first course as written. It was simple to make and came together in minutes. It had just the right amount of heat and the oil was wonderful with a fresh baguette. I will definitely make this again.

  • Awesome. Easy, quick, threw over a salad with toasted pine nuts and used curly parsley for a bit more flavor. Delish.
