   1      Pound         Large shrimp -- peeled and
                        butterflied with tail
                        shells left on
     1/4  Cup           Fresh lime juice
     1/3  Cup           Light olive oil
   1      medium        White onion -- finely sliced
     3/4  Pound         tomatoes -- (about 2 medium)
                        broiled
   4                    Chiles chipotles adobados
                        or to taste
   1      clove         Garlic -- peeled and
                        roughly chopped
     1/3  Cup           Dry white wine
     1/4  Teaspoon      Dried oregano -- Mexican if
                        possible

Season the shrimps with salt, pepper, and lime juice and set aside to
marinate for about 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a frying pan; add the
drained shrimp, reserving any liquid, and sliced onion and fry, shaking
the pan and tossing the ingredients, for about 3 minutes.  Remove shrimp
and onion with a slotted spoon and set aside. In a blender, blend the
tomatoes, chipotles and their liquid, and garlic to a textured sauce. 
Reheat the oil, add the sauce, and fry over high heat, stirring and
scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, for about 8
minutes.  Add the wine, oregano, marinade, and salt to taste and cook
for another minute.  Add the shrimp/onion mixture and cook for about 2
minutes, the shrimps should be just cooked and still crisp.
