2 limes
24 uncooked extra-large (16 to 20 per pound) deveined peeled shrimp with tail shells left on (about 1 1/2 lb)
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 large chipotle chile in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can), finely chopped (1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Reserve 1 lime for garnish. Grate 1 teaspoon peel from other lime. Cut lime in half; squeeze enough juice to measure 2 tablespoons. Set peel and juice aside.
  • Butterfly each shrimp by cutting along the outside curve through the fleshiest part for about 1 1/2 inches, cutting almost to the inside curve. The shrimp should spread open.
  • In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix oil, garlic, pepper flakes, lime juice and grated lime peel. Shake lightly to mix. Add shrimp. Seal bag; rotate to coat all of shrimp. Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes to marinate.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise, honey mustard, chipotle chile and adobo sauce. Cover; refrigerate until serving.
  • Heat oven to 400°F. Remove shrimp from marinade; place in 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Open each shrimp, arranging in pan so that cut portion is on pan with tail tucked in. Discard marinade.
  • Bake 5 to 7 minutes, rearranging shrimp halfway through bake time, until shrimp are pink. Place on serving platter; sprinkle with cilantro. Spoon dip into bowl. Cut reserved lime into wedges. Garnish dip with wedges. Serve shrimp with dip. Store any remaining shrimp and dip in refrigerator.

ZESTY CHIPOTLE LIME CREMA



Zesty Chipotle Lime Crema image

I love this combination of ingredients and have used them before in an aioli . I was inspired by a couple of other recipes to mix them in sour cream instead to make a delicious crema. This makes a delicious topping for tacos, enchilada's or anything else you want to add some pizzaz to! One chipotle is plenty spicy for us, add more to your personal taste.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sour cream
1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo
1 -2 garlic clove
1 lime, juice of
lime zest

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Make sure all ingredients have fully blended, no lumps. Serve or chill for later - will thicken slightly.
  • Notes:.
  • This is a recipe that really flexes to personal taste.
  • Add a little zest unless you like a lot - then add more.
  • Start with juice from half the lime , one garlic and one chipotle, ziz it up, then add what you like more of - I like 1 chipotle, 2 garlic and juice from the whole lime and zest from half a lime, but lime sizes vary greatly and so does how much juice you get. You want a tangy, garlicky crema with some pow from the chipotle.

ZESTY CHIPOTLE LIME DIP

This recipe was inspired by a dip I tasted in Tucson, AZ. It has a spicy flair and tastes great with salty chips and crunchy bell peppers. Be sure to use chipotle (don't use other types of dried chile pepper) for that authentic Southwest flavor. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo!
