Seared Chipotle Rub Shrimp With Caramelized Onions

Directions

In a small mixing bowl combine paprika, chipotle chile powder, brown sugar, garlic seasoning salt, pepper and salt.

Place the shrimp on a sheet pan lined with paper towels and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Throw paper towels away when finished.

Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle the spice mixture generously over the shrimp, so they are all coated.

Preheat a large skillet to medium high and drizzle some olive oil in the pan. Once the pan is very hot. Place some of the shrimp one by one in the pan so they are spaced out a little. (Prevents them from steaming and this helps get a good sear on each individual shrimp) Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter. Repeat. *Taste Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the shrimp if needed

Once all the shrimp are done, wipe some of the burnt spices that are left in the pan with a paper towel. After, drizzle with olive oil and place the sliced onion in the pan and saute for about 7-10 minutes, until cooked to your desired doneness on how caramelized you want it or how much bite you want them to have.

Once done, place the caramelized onions on a platter, place the shrimp over the bed of caramelized onions and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
