Deviled Shrimp is an easy to make, super spicy shrimp dish. The shrimp are coated in a thick tomato sauce that's packed with spicy flavor from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and cholula hot sauce.

Ingredients
4tablespoonsbutter
1cupdiced onion
4garlic cloves,minced
1 1/2poundslarge shrimp,peeled and deveined
2tablespoonstomato paste
1(14-ounce) canfire-roasted tomatoes, drained
1/2canchipotle peppers in adobo,finely chopped or processed in a mini food processor
1/4cupfresh orange juice
1teaspooncholula hot sauce
chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Add shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, just until they turn pink. You want them a little undercooked at this point because they will finish cooking later. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave as much of the onion and garlic in the pan as possible, but it's ok if some is stuck to the shrimp.
Add tomato paste to the skillet and stir it into the onion.
Add diced tomatoes, chipotle peppers, orange juice, and hot sauce and cook for about 5 minutes.
Return shrimp to skillet and stir to coat in sauce. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes.
Serve with cilantro.
Notes
I like to use Cholula hot sauce, but any hot sauce can be used.
