Best 4 Tequila Mexican Cream And Chipotle Shrimp Recipes

CAMARONES CON CREMA (MEXICAN SHRIMP IN CREAM)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place bell peppers, onion, and garlic in the butter and saute until tender and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and set aside. Save pan and juices and keep warm.
• Combine broth and green chiles in a separate pan and bring to a simmer. Turn off heat and add cream cheese, stirring slowly until incorporated. Add Mexican crema, chile de arbol, cumin, and oregano. Stir again. Add peppers, onion, and garlic; stir to incorporate. Remove from heat.
• Heat reserved pan with juices over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Stir shrimp into cream mixture and serve.

CHIPOTLE TEQUILA SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• In shallow dish, toss shrimp, orange juice, tequila, lime juice, chiles and garlic to coat. Let stand 15 minutes to marinate, stirring twice.
• Meanwhile, cut plum tomatoes and tomatillo into wedges. Halve golden tomatoes; set aside.
• Drain shrimp, discarding marinade. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, tomatoes and tomatillo to skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning shrimp, tomatoes and tomatillo halfway through cooking time, until shrimp turn pink and tomatoes are slightly soft.
• Heat tortillas on griddle. Fill each tortilla and taco shell with shrimp mixture. Top with cilantro, queso fresco, avocados and pico de gallo or salsa. Squeeze lime wedge over each.

CHIPOTLE CREAM SHRIMP

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.
• Melt the butter in a large heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and saute until golden brown and just cooked through, 5 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine to the same pan and boil until slightly thickened, 2 minutes. Add the cream, chipotle chiles, Worcestershire sauce and garlic to the pan and boil until slightly reduced, 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat with the chipotle sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon cilantro and serve with white or brown rice.

TEQUILA, MEXICAN CREAM & CHIPOTLE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Peel and devein the shrimp. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large and heavy sauté pan set over medium-high heat, let the butter melt. Once it starts to sizzle, add the garlic; stir and cook for 10 to 15 seconds, until it becomes fragrant. Incorporate the shrimp, making sure that the pan is not overcrowded, and let them brown on one side and then the other, for about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Don't let them overcook; they should be browned on the outside but barely cooked through. Add the tequila, and slightly tilt the pan over the flame to ignite it. Let it cook until the flames disappear. Stir in the cream and the chipotle sauce (and the seeded minced chile if using). Serve immediately, with the chives sprinkled on top.
