Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 small chipotle, seeded and minced, plus 2 Tbs. adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles en adobo)
1 Tbs. tomato paste
1 tsp. light brown sugar
1 lb. shrimp (21 to 25 per lb.), peeled, deveined, rinsed, and patted dry
3/4 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 lb. chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch dice (scant 1 cup)
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice (2 cups)
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1/2 small red bell pepper, sliced into strips about 1/4 inch wide and 2 to 3 inches long (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice; more as needed

Steps:

  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the chicken broth, chipotle, adobo sauce, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Sprinkle the shrimp with a scant 1/4 tsp. salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper. Put a 12-inch skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat for 1-1/2 minutes. Add 2 Tbs. of the oil and once it's shimmering hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until the shrimp browns nicely, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown the second side, about 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. The shrimp should still be a little undercooked. Add the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and the chorizo to the pan and cook, tossing, until it starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add the zucchini, onion, and pepper, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, tossing often, until the zucchini browns in places and is just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the broth mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low. Stir in the shrimp, about half of the cilantro, and the lime juice. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and the shrimp are opaque throughout (cut one in half to check), 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining cilantro. Serving Suggestions Serve with white rice that picks up the flavor of the sauce or a rich Arroz Verde (Green Rice). nutrition information (per serving): Calories (kcal): 500; Fat (g): 34; Fat Calories (kcal): 310; Saturated Fat (g): 8; Protein (g): 36; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 20; Carbohydrates (g): 12; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 4; Sodium (mg): 1240; Cholesterol (mg): 255; Fiber (g): 2;

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I will use less chipotle pepper.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The chipotle shrimp is spicy and flavorful, while the zucchini and chorizo add a nice sweetness and smokiness. I served this with rice and it was a perfect meal.
