• In a very large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the chile pieces and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. (Don't cook them too long, as they'll burn and taste bitter). Add the red onion and cook another minute while the onion wilts slightly. Add the balsamic vinegar, sugar, 1/3 cup water and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Simmer another minute to allow the flavors to come together.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet with the sauce. Cook, stirring, until they are just barely cooked through (they will turn pink but be slightly translucent at the center), 6 to 8 minutes. Put the shrimp into a shallow serving bowl and garnish with the cilantro leaves. This dish is delicious served warm, at room temperature or cool.
