Dinner: Shrimp in Achiote Oil

In this Filipino dish, achiote oil bathes the shrimp in an amber hue, and citrus lends a bright, tart note.

Ingredients

1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons achiote (annatto) seeds

Instructions

Cook oil and achiote seeds in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until oil turns dark red, about 5 minutes. Strain into a jar and let cool.
DO AHEAD: Achiote oil can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
