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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup Tequila Reposado

  • 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.

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, chopped tomato, salsa, and avocado sprinkled on top. serve over rice or couscous

1 large clove finely chopped or pressed garlic
1 Chipotle chili chopped fine (from a can of Chipotle Chili in Adobo Sauce)
1 Tbsp Honey
1/3 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup heavy cream (let it sit out for a bit so it is not refrigerator cold)

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp in a bowl and salt lightly and pepper moderately Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp of Butter Drain any liquid from the bowl with the shrimp and toss shrimp into hot skillet Cook shrimp just until they are no longer visibly translucent (about 3 minutes - depends on what size shrimp you use - do not overcook!) Remove shrimp from skillet with a slotted spoon to a plate Over high heat allow any liquid in the skillet to evaporate (takes a couple of minutes) Add shallots and garlic and stir for a minute Add lemon juice, lemon zest, chipotle and honey and stir for a minute Add chicken stock and deglaze pan Reduce for a couple of minutes until thick Place the cream in larger cup and add three or four spoonfuls of the hot skillet mixture to the cream and stir (do not try using anything less than heavy cream...sorry) Pour the cream mixture into the skillet Adjust salt to taste and add fresh cracked pepper Allow to come to a foamy boil while stirring Add 1 Tbsp Butter and stir in Add back in the shrimp and any juices from the plate Stir to coat the shrimp and heat through (a minute or so) Serve over your favorite pasta or rice

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for shrimp that is firm and has a slight briny smell, and use fresh vegetables that are in season.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce for this dish should be thick and creamy. If it's too thin, add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to thicken it up.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The shrimp will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This Chipotle Cream Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a creamy sauce that is flavored with chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and a variety of spices. Serve it over rice or your favorite pasta for a complete meal.
