CAMARONES ENCHILADOS (PUERTO RICAN-STYLE CREOLE SHRIMP)



Camarones Enchilados (Puerto Rican-Style Creole Shrimp) image

Camarones enchilados translates roughly to ''deviled shrimp'' and should definitely not be confused with Mexican enchiladas, which are totally different! This is one of the very few Puerto Rican dishes with any heat. It's that heat that made this dish special for my mom and me, because unlike my dad (and most Puerto Ricans!) we both really love spice. So this is a meal my mom usually made just for the two of us to enjoy on the days when my dad was away.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL (COCTEL DE CAMARONES ESTILO MEXICANO)



Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail (Coctel de Camarones estilo Mexicano) image

I prepare this refreshing shrimp cocktail for my family a lot during the hot summer days. Being a Mexican family, we always add Mexican hot sauce (such as Valentina® or Tapatio®) and serve with saltine crackers on the side. The trick is to start with well-chilled shrimp, ketchup, and tomato juice cocktail so it can be ready after only chilling 1 hour in the fridge. Top with additional hot sauce and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!

Provided by Brian Genest

Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon salted butter, or as needed
⅓ medium white onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
5 medium Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw
2 cups chicken stock
½ medium white onion, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium lime, zested
3 cups water
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ bunch chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons salted butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, allspice, salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Add shrimp and toss to combine with the spices. Set aside for at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat and cook diced onion until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add 3 tomatoes and cook until beginning to break down, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken stock and puree using an immersion blender. Add remaining tomatoes, sliced onion, bell pepper, jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer sauce on medium-low for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rinse rice in a mesh strainer. Run strainer under a faucet until the water runs clear. Shake the water off and let rice dry for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour a thin layer of vegetable oil in another pot and heat over medium heat. Add rice and lightly fry for 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and lime zest and cook for 1 minute. Strain oil out of the rice and return to the pot.
  • Add water, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice has absorbed most of the liquid, about 20 minutes. Toss with remaining lime juice and cilantro.
  • Melt butter in a separate pot and add shrimp. Saute shrimp until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Scoop some rice on a plate, ladle tomato sauce over it, and top with shrimp. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor to make the red pepper sauce. Just be sure to use the pulse setting so you don't over-process the sauce.
  • If you want a spicier sauce, add more chili peppers to the recipe. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
  • Serve the shrimp enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cheese.

Shrimp enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
