Ingredients

1 cup light olive oil or canola oil

1/2 cup Annatto Seeds

Directions

Add the Annatto seeds to the oil in a medium pan..

Bring the heat up slow and let it steep on a very low heat for about 10-15 minutes...

Take off heat and let cool

Strain into a jar.

Lid and keep!

That's it..

Try it on peeled shrimps... or scallops.. soooooo good! I have used it to brown chicken, and then finish off by baking in oven.. No breading... Add some salt pepper and lime at the table...

I hope you enjoy!
