Step 1

Cut up your onions and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Toss the onions into a big sauté pan over medium heat, lubed with some cooking spray. Add a pinch of salt to help them sweat.

Step 3

Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion is nice and soft, just starting to brown around the edges.

Step 4

Next, add the 1 teaspoon each of cumin and chile powder, the garlic and the thawed shrimp. If you don't thaw the shrimp they take too long to heat up, release way too much liquid and end up really tough. Take the time to thaw the shrimp. Otherwise use regular, uncooked shrimp.

Step 5

Toss everything together until heated through. 5 more minutes.

Step 6

Remove from the heat and add the butter.

Step 7

Stir well to melt the butter.

Step 8

Add the lime juice and give it another stir. Finally, toss in the scallions and toss one last time.
