CREAMY CHIPOTLE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saute pan on medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque. Remove them to a bowl.
• In that same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and add the bell pepper and saute for 4-5 minutes.
• Then add the garlic, white parts of the green onion, salt and pepper. Stir for another 2 minutes.
• Pour in the chipotle sauce and milk and stir to combine. Then add the shrimp back to the pan to warm through.
• Garnish with the green parts of the green onion, chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeno pepper.

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP BURRITOS WITH SIMPLE AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Blend chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, honey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cinnamon in a food processor until smooth. Place shrimp in a gallon Ziploc freezer bag with chipotle mixture and marinate in fridge for 1-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, place avocado halves, crema and Hatch green chile enchilada sauce in a blender and mix to combine. Add a tablespoon of water or more enchilada sauce to desired consistency. Refrigerate until ready to assemble burritos.
• Cook rice according to package directions. Fluff rice and add the juice of one lime and cilantro leaves. Keep warm on low heat.
• Bring a heavy bottom skillet or cast iron skillet to medium high heat and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot add shrimp in batches taking care not to overcrowd pan. Cook for 2 minutes each side then flip and cook for an additional minute. Remove from pan and continue until all shrimp are cooked.
• To assemble burritos, microwave tortillas for 30 seconds. Place ¾ cup cliantro lime rice on warmed tortilla, add 10-12 shrimp per burrito and top with avocado crema. Squeeze fresh lime and garnish with additional cilantro leaves. Roll into burrito and top with additional avocado crema as desired.

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TACO WITH AVOCADO SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Put the onion, jalapeno, and garlic in a food processor and finely chop. Add the tomatillos, avocado, and salt and pulse until chopped but still chunky. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
• Heat a stovetop or outdoor grill to medium-high. Mix the olive oil, chipotle or chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Grill the shrimp until translucent, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Grill tortillas, until slightly charred and pliable, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat in a microwave.) Spoon sauce on the tortilla, then top with about 2 or 3 shrimp and a sprig of cilantro. Serve 2 tacos per person, with a lime wedge on the side.

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.
