Chipotle Lime Shrimp

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound E-Z Peel shrimp
1 chipotle chili canned in adobo, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
guar or xanthan
1 tablespoon minced cilantro

Put your big, heavy skillet over low heat, and add the olive oil and butter. When the butter melts, swirl them together to cover the bottom of the pan, and add your shrimp in a single layer.

While the shrimp are stewing gently in the butter and oil, mince your chipotle.

Okay, the shrimp are pink on one side. Flip 'em! Let 'em sit another three minutes or so.

When the shrimp are pink through, stir in the minced chipotle, the lime juice, and the cumin. Let the whole thing cook another minute over lowest possible heat while you wash your hands well with soap and water to get the hot pepper off of them.

Thicken the juice in the pan to the texture of heavy cream with a little sprinkle of guar or xanthan.

Dish 'em up, scatter the cilantro over 'em, and serve with plenty of napkins.
