Chipotle Shrimp Tacos With Fennel And Beans Recipes

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet fry the bacon over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain the bacon fat. Add the onions to the pan with the bacon and cook 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Stir in the shrimp and chipotle chiles; cook 4 minutes or until heated through.
• Heat tortillas on an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn and heat for another 5 to 10 seconds. Fill the heated tortillas with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the shrimp, chili powder and a large pinch of salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add the canola oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp is no longer opaque and just cooked through, turning only once, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a serving bowl and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Stir 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet with the dripping, using a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon scallions for garnish and add the rest to the skillet. Cook until the scallions are slightly softened, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add the beans and a large pinch of salt and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• In a large bowl, stir together the chipotle mayonnaise, lime zest and juice and a large pinch of salt. Add the coleslaw mix and half of the cilantro and stir to combine.
• Serve the shrimp alongside the beans, coleslaw, remaining cilantro, scallions, sour cream or Mexican crema, lime wedges and warm tortillas.

Steps:

• With the side of a heavy knife, mash 1 tablespoon garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a paste. Transfer to a bowl; stir in chipotles and sauce and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand at least 15 minutes (or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day).
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon garlic and cilantro stems; cook until fragrant and garlic is just golden, about 1 minute. Stir in beans and 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, mashing some beans with the back of a spoon, until liquid has mostly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste and squeeze half of lime over top. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
• Heat grill to high. Thread shrimp onto metal or presoaked wooden skewers (2 to 3 a skewer). Brush grates with vegetable oil. Grill shrimp, undisturbed, until charred in spots and easily lifted from grates, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, flip skewers and cook until shrimp are opaque, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil.
• Blister tortillas over direct heat, flipping once, about 30 seconds each. Wrap in a clean towel to keep warm. Just before serving, toss fennel with juice of remaining lime half and a generous drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. To serve, pile tortillas with beans, fennel slaw, and a shrimp skewer. Top with cilantro leaves and sour cream.
