Chipotle Dry-Rubbed Shrimp

Categories     appetizer

Time 18m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound (12/15 count) shrimp (translation: 12 to 15 shrimp to a pound)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon lemon pepper (a mixed spice seasoning), or dried lemon peel
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile (may be replaced with cayenne pepper, but only after you've been to hell and back searching for chipotle)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
Cilantro Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, stems discarded before measuring
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Shell, clean, and devein shrimp. I leave the tails on for aesthetic reasons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  • In a medium-size bowl, mix oregano, thyme, lemon pepper, chipotle, salt, and black pepper. Toss shrimp thoroughly with mixed spices. Keep refrigerated until ready for cooking.
  • Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat. Wait until oil is smoking hot, then place about 10 shrimp in it so that each has enough room to lie on its side. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
  • Serve hot, or at room temperature, with cilantro dipping sauce. For that special surreal touch, serve shrimp piled up on a barbie doll.
  • Blend cilantro and lime juice in a food processor or blender until cilantro is liquefied. Pour into a small bowl and use a fork to blend in sour cream until fully blended into a pale green sauce. Refrigerate until ready for use.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp were a bit dry and the chipotle rub was not as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was a great recipe! The shrimp were very flavorful and the chipotle rub was perfect. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice to the rub.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chipotle rub gave the shrimp a nice smoky flavor, and the pineapple added a touch of sweetness. I would definitely make this again.
