Fonda San Miguels Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chipotles in a bowl and cover with very hot water. Allow to soak for 3 minutes; drain. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and discard. Cut the peppers into thin strips.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Cook the garlic in the oil until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the peppers and the lime juice; simmer 5 minutes; season with the salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Prepare the fried garlic:.
• In a heavy, 10-inch skillet, heat the oil over high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking. Add garlic, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring often. (Be careful not to burn it.) Remove garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon, strain through a fine strainer, and drain on paper towels.
• Shrimp:.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the sliced garlic, reduce heat to low, and keep warm on top of the stove. Do not brown the garlic. In a nonreactive skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and saute the shrimp until they curl and turn pink, about 4 to 5 minutes. Divide the shrimp among 6 dinner plates and spoon the warm garlic-butter sauce over each serving. Sprinkle with Fried Garlic and chopped parsley. Serve with Arroz Blanco. Serves 6.
• Variation: Substitute 6 6- to 7-ounce fillets of a firm fish (such as redfish, drum, or tilapia). Broil, grill, or sauté; the fish and proceed as directed.

Steps:

• To make the mojo de ajo, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the garlic, olive oil and the 1/2 teaspoons salt, stir to mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is barely simmering. Reduce the heat to very low and cook at a very gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden (the color of light brown sugar), about 30 minutes. (The slower the cooking, the sweeter the garlic.).
• Add the lime juice and simmer, stirring, until most of the juice has evaporated or has been absorbed into the garlic, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chilies, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt. Keep the pan over low heat so the garlic will be warm when the shrimp are ready.
• In a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, spoon 1 1/2 Tbs. of the oil (but not any garlic) from the mojo. Add half the shrimp to the pan, season with salt, and stir gently and continuously until the shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half the cilantro. Scoop the shrimp into a deep serving platter and repeat with another 1 1/2 Tbs. of the oil and the remaining shrimp and cilantro. When all of the shrimp are cooked, use a slotted spoon to scoop out the warm bits of garlic and chilies from the mojo pan and scatter them over the shrimp. Serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside to squeeze over the shrimp. (You may have as much as 1/3 cup of the oil left over. Reserve for another use.) Serves 6.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it just begins to turn golden. Add the shrimp, then immediately add lime, Tabasco and salt. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately with French bread.
