CHIPOTLE CREAM SHRIMP



Chipotle Cream Shrimp image

Succulent shrimp in a creamy rich sauce that packs some heat. Don't let the looks deceive you- My DBF took one look at it and poured on the Tapatio before I could stop him. Little did he know, despite the looks of the light colored cream sauce, it carries some heat. I added extra white wine (couldn't resist) and extra chipotle (knowing how much DBF likes spicy food), You might start off using less or just the adobo sauce and then add more to suit your tolerance for heat. Serve this over rice to soad up all the wonderful flavor. From Marcela Valladolid's book Fresh Mexico.

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.
