SHRIMP IN CHIPOTLE SAUCE



Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce image

A sauce just spicy enough to make your mouth tingle enveloping tender shrimp- this is fairly quick to prepare if you use pre- peeled shrimp. This recipe includes Cola which adds flavor as well as a touch of sweetness. The sauce is good spooned over white rice. I would not suggest using diet cola for this recipe. Adapted From William Sonoma Mexican.

Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
shrimp
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
4 ripe tomatoes, about 1 1/2 lbs. chopped or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans each chopped tomatoes, drained
2 canned chipotle chiles, en adobo with 1 tablespoon sauce
1/2 cup Coca-Cola or 1/2 cup Pepsi
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the garlic, lme juice, and sea salt and pepper to taste. Add the shrimp and toss until thoroughly coated. Let marinate while preparing the sauce, at least 5 minutes.
  • In a heavy frying pan or cazuela over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, just until the color deepens, less than 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomato mixture to a blender, allowing any excess oil to drip back into the pan. Reserve th oil in the pan. Add the chiles an dsauce, cola, and oregano to the blender. Process until you get a textured sauce.
  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Return the pan with the reserved oil to medium-high heat and heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add half of the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes. Using the slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and add them to the plate.
  • Return the still-hot pan to medium-high heat and add the sauce. Fry, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the flavors deepen, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes longer just to heat through. Divide the shrimp evenly among warmed individual plates. Spoon some of the remaining chipotle sauce over each serving and serve at once.

SHRIMP IN TOMATILLO AND HERB SAUCE



Shrimp in Tomatillo and Herb Sauce image

This fragrant, pungent shrimp dish is an adaptation of a dish from Veracruz. In the authentic dish the herbal flavor comes from hoja santa, an aniselike Mexican herb that isn't easy to find in the United States. I've created a flavor that is reminiscent of hoja santa by combining basil, tarragon and mint.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound tomatillos, husked
2 serrano chilies, stemmed
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with a generous pinch of salt and grind to a paste. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and blend together.
  • Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the baking sheet. Add the chilies, basil, mint and tarragon and blend until smooth. Season to taste.
  • Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy saucepan and add the shrimp. Cook on one side for one minute, then, using tongs, turn the shrimp over and cook on the other side for one minute. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • Add the garlic paste to the hot pan and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Add the tomatillo mixture, stir together, turn the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, for five minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the shrimp to the pan, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for about three minutes, until the sauce coats the shrimp and the shrimp is tender but still moist. Taste, adjust salt and serve.

  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can chop the tomatillos, onion, and cilantro by hand.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with the salsa and lime wedges.

Conclusion:

This dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy shrimp. The chipotle butter adds a smoky flavor to the shrimp, while the tomatillo salsa is refreshing and tangy. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer.
