Chipotle Shrimp Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Cups and Filling
• Crisp your phyllo cups on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven for 5 min. before setting aside to cool completely.
• When the cups are cool, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, salt and pepper together. Transfer this mixture to a ziptop bag with one bottom corner cut off, then use to fill each phyllo cup.
• Chipotle-Shrimp
• Process the chipotle peppers and sauce in a food processor until smooth. Place the chipotle purée, shrimp and garlic together in a ziptop bag and gently work the bag around until the shrimp are evenly coated. Place the shrimp in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to marinate.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the shrimp and sauce to the pan, then sprinkle with the salt and lime juice. Cook for around 4 minutes, tossing the shrimp as needed, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from the heat and gently mix in the butter.
• Assembly
• Top filled cups with shrimp and cilantro. Serve warm.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each of 36 mini muffin cups coated with cooking spray, pressing the wrappers into sides of cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep wontons in muffin cups.
• Combine cheese and remaining ingredients, and spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each wonton cup. (I used a 1 tbls. scoop to put into cups.) Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from muffin cups. Serve immediately. (If taking to a gathering, I leave my wontons in the muffin cups for transport on a 1/2 sheet pan.)
