Ingredients

1 lb large shrimps, peeled and butterflied with tail shell left on
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup light olive oil
1 medium white onion, finely sliced
2 medium tomatoes, broiled or tomate verde (tomatillos)
4 chilpotle chiles in adobo
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1/3 cup white wine
1/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano

Instructions

Season the shrimps with salt and 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 the shrimp and onion with a slotted spoon and set aside.

In a blender jar, blend the tomatoes, chipotles, and their liquid, and garlic to a textured sauce. Reheat the oil, and 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--for the shrimps should be just cooked and still crisp.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
