Spicy Seared Chipotle Shrimp With Zucchini Chorizo Food

CHIPOTLE-GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Skewer the shrimp onto 6 soaked wooden skewers, about 5 shrimp per skewer.
• Whisk together the adobo sauce, honey, olive oil, half of the scallions and the zest of the limes in a small bowl until well combined. Brush the shrimp with some of the glaze and place on the grill.
• Grill the shrimp for 2 minutes per side, brushing them with the glaze until they are slightly charred and just cooked through.
• Transfer to a platter and garnish with the remaining scallions and the lime wedges.

SPICY SEARED CHIPOTLE SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI & CHORIZO

Steps:

• In a measuring cup, whisk together the chicken broth, chipotle, adobo sauce, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Sprinkle the shrimp with a scant 1/4 tsp. salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper. Put a 12-inch skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat for 1-1/2 minutes. Add 2 Tbs. of the oil and once it's shimmering hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until the shrimp browns nicely, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown the second side, about 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. The shrimp should still be a little undercooked. Add the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and the chorizo to the pan and cook, tossing, until it starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add the zucchini, onion, and pepper, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, tossing often, until the zucchini browns in places and is just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the broth mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low. Stir in the shrimp, about half of the cilantro, and the lime juice. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and the shrimp are opaque throughout (cut one in half to check), 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining cilantro. Serving Suggestions Serve with white rice that picks up the flavor of the sauce or a rich Arroz Verde (Green Rice). nutrition information (per serving): Calories (kcal): 500; Fat (g): 34; Fat Calories (kcal): 310; Saturated Fat (g): 8; Protein (g): 36; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 20; Carbohydrates (g): 12; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 4; Sodium (mg): 1240; Cholesterol (mg): 255; Fiber (g): 2;

SPICY CHIPOTLE GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Mix together the garlic, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Stir in the shrimp, and mix well to thoroughly coat. Marinate for 30 minutes in refrigerator.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
