Ingredients

For the shrimp:

1.5 lbs jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil (divided)
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
3 green onion (green and white parts separated)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup Creme Fraiche (or coconut milk for dairy-free version)

For the chipotle sauce:

1/2 cup avocado oil or olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 lime (juiced)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

Prepare the shrimp by tossing sprinkling with cumin and salt. Heat up a large skillet to medium high heat. Once hot, add 2 tbsp oil to the pan, then toss in the shrimp. Saute for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque. Remove from heat, keep the skillet hot (turn down to medium).
Add in another tbsp of oil if needed, and toss in the diced bell pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes, then toss in minced garlic and the white parts of the onion. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the chipotle sauce. In a food processor or high powered blender, blend together all ingredients until smooth.
Pour the chipotle sauce in the pan, and stir in Creme Fraiche or coconut milk. Add the shrimp back to the pan tossing everything together.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, green parts of the onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice.
