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, chopped tomato, salsa, and avocado sprinkled on top. serve over rice or couscous
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the shrimp, which should be as fresh as possible.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality tequila: The tequila you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a tequila that is smooth and flavorful.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste. For example, you can add more or less chipotle pepper, or you can use a different type of cheese.
Conclusion:
This Tequila Mexican Cream and Chipotle Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
