    Directions

    1. Jicama Slaw
    2. Combine all ingredients. Add Lime Vinaigrette and toss lightly. Allow to refrigerate for about an hour before serving.
    3. Lime Vinaigrette
    4. Whisk all ingredients. Adjust seasoning as desired.
    5. Mexican-style Shrimp Diablo
    6. Combine the shrimp, garlic and chile powder. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
    7. Diablo Sauce
    8. Lightly toast the chiles (this adds more flavor depth): Place chiles in a dry skillet over medium-high heat; press down with spatula for about 10-15 seconds. Flip chiles and repeat. ~ Place toasted chiles and water in microwave-safe container. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until water has just about reached the boiling point. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes. ~ Place softened chiles in a blender along with the tomato paste and about half of the chile liquid. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid, if necessary, to attain a slightly watery consistency (similar to canned tomato sauce or bottled vegetable juice blends). Add black pepper to mixture.
    9. Make the dish
    10. Pre-heat a skillet to medium-high. Add oil, then marinated shrimp. Cook for about 1 minute (shrimp will be about 50 percent pink at this point), then add Diablo Sauce. ~ Mixture will almost immediately begin to boil and reduce. Stir constantly for another 1 minute, then remove from heat. Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes before serving.
