Remove the stems from the dried arbol and guajillo chiles and soften them in hot water for 10 minutes.
Blend the softened chiles with the tomatoes, garlic, and lemon juice, then strain.
Toss the shrimp with salt and black pepper, sear them in half the olive oil for 2 minutes, and set aside.
Soften the onion in the remaining olive oil for 4 minutes.
Add the chile tomato sauce to the pan and cook for 6 minutes, until thickened.
Return the shrimp to the sauce, cook for 2 minutes until coated, and remove from the heat.
💡 Tip: If arbol chiles are very hot, replace half with mild dried peppers; do not treat them like Turkish red pepper flakes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the shrimp as a spicy lunch plate with plain rice, corn tortillas, and optional avocado slices.
