Chipotle Tortilla Chip Crusted Shrimp Recipes

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP APPETIZER RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, chili powder, salt, garlic powder and brown sugar in a medium-sized bowl until completely combined. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp then stir to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1−4 hours.
• After shrimp has marinated for at least 1 hour, remove from the fridge and drain any excess liquid from the bowl.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 Tbsp oil to the pan. When oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp and cook just until it is cooked through-this'll take about 1−2 minutes per side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
• When the shrimp is cooked through, transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl and squeeze the juice of ½ a lime over the top. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro, stir to combine then set aside to cool slightly.
• In a separate bowl, stir together avocado, lime juice and tomatoes then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place approximately 2 tsp of the avocado mixture into each tortilla chip 'scoop' and top with a chipotle lime shrimp. Serve immediately and enjoy!

RICK'S CHIPOTLE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Roasting the flavorings: On an ungreased griddle or heavy skillet set over medium, roast the garlic cloves, turning occasionally, until soft (they will blacken in spots), about 15 minutes. Cool and peel. While the garlic is roasting, lay the onion out on a small square of foil, set on the griddle and let sear, brown and soften, about 5 minutes on each side. Roast the tomatoes on a baking sheet set 4 inches below a very hot broiler until blackened in spots and soft, about 6 minutes; flip and roast the other side. Cool and peel, collecting all the juices with the tomatoes.
• The sauce: Combine all the roasted ingredients in a food processor or blender, along with the pepper, cloves and 1/4 cup water. Process to a medium-smooth puree. In a very large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When hot enough to make a drip of the puree sizzle noisily, add it all at once. Stir for several minutes as the mixture sears and darkens then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring regularly, until very thick, about 5 minutes. A tablespoon at a time, stir in the Chipotle Seasoning Salsa (or chopped chipotle), tasting until the thick salsa suits your own penchant for spiciness. Taste, season with salt and remove from the heat.
• The shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the final joint and the tail intact. Return the skillet with the sauce to medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, then slowly stir and turn for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp are just cooked through. Season with salt if needed. Serve the shrimp with the rice. Garnish with cilantro.
