Shrimp Brochettes Mango Chipotle Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, saute Spam and julienned vegetables in Chipotle Butter over medium-high heat until Spam is lightly browned and vegetables are softened. Deglaze with white wine. Coat another large frying pan with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Rub tortillas in the pan to spread the oil, evenly coating each tortilla. Remove tortillas from pan and allow pan to reach medium-high heat.
• Divide cheese, chiles, and Spam mixture among tortillas. Fold tortillas over, and place them in the pan. Cook until cheese is melted. Serve, garnished with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
• 4 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles en adobo sauce, pureed
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 4 teaspoons tequila
• Fine salt and freshly ground black pepper
• In a mixing bowl, combine chipotle puree, garlic, and butter until mixture is smooth. Add cilantro, lime juice, and tequila and stir or beat until uniformly blended. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the orange juice, vinegar, chipotle chilies, salt, and sugar and blend until chilies are finely chopped. With the motor running, add the oil in a steady stream and blend until incorporated. Adjust seasonings, add the mint and set aside. The vinaigrette can be refrigerated overnight without the mint, which should be added just before serving.
• Heat a grill. Brush fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, transfer snapper fillets to a serving platter or individual plates and drizzle with the orange chipotle vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Shell, clean, and devein shrimp. I leave the tails on for aesthetic reasons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• In a medium-size bowl, mix oregano, thyme, lemon pepper, chipotle, salt, and black pepper. Toss shrimp thoroughly with mixed spices. Keep refrigerated until ready for cooking.
• Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat. Wait until oil is smoking hot, then place about 10 shrimp in it so that each has enough room to lie on its side. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
• Serve hot, or at room temperature, with cilantro dipping sauce. For that special surreal touch, serve shrimp piled up on a barbie doll.
• Blend cilantro and lime juice in a food processor or blender until cilantro is liquefied. Pour into a small bowl and use a fork to blend in sour cream until fully blended into a pale green sauce. Refrigerate until ready for use.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onions and paprika cook until caramelized. Add tomato and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sauce cool. Puree in a blender until smooth. Add hot sauce and set aside. Clean sea scallops by removing the small muscle attached. Peel the ripe mango and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place one piece of mango and one scallop on skewer. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat ingredients with oil and grill until scallop is medium rare. Garnish with sauce and fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Make a deep slit along the back of each shrimp and spread to butterfly. Stuff each shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon queso fresco and some jalapeno. Close the shrimp around the cheese and jalapeno. Wrap the stuffed shrimp with a half-piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick or small skewer.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the adobo sauce, garlic powder and lime juice. Pour half of the butter mixture into a bowl for serving and divide the remaining half between 2 bowls for brushing and basting.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat; brush with olive oil. Brush one side of the shrimp with the butter mixture and put the shrimp on the grill buttered-side down. Using the same brush and same butter, brush the second side. Grill for a few minutes, checking to make sure the bacon is not sticking to the grill.
• Flip the shrimp and cook, flipping as needed and frequently basting with the second small bowl of butter and a clean brush, until the bacon is completely cooked and the shrimp are opaque, about 8 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the remaining chipotle butter.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Soak skewers in water.
• Place a strip of jalapeno into the opening of butterflied shrimp. Wrap with a piece of the bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the shrimp is pierced once through the head, and once through the tail, and bacon is secure. You can usually fit about 6 shrimp on a skewer. Make sure there is a little space between the shrimp, this will help the bacon cook better. Season both sides of the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place shrimp skewers on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Turn, and place slices of cheese over the shrimp. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned, and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Clean and devein shrimp, leaving the last section and tails intact.
• With a paring knife, carefully slice each shrimp from tail to tip.
• Wash and seed jalapeno, and cut into a pieces about 1/2-inch X 1/2-inch squares.
• Cut slice of cheese into 12 small pieces.
• Stuff one small piece of cheese and one small piece of jalapeno into each shrimp.
• Wrap a half slice of bacon around each shrimp.
• Place shrimp on a wet skewer.
• Repeat this process until all shrimp have been placed on skewers.
• Place in refrigerator for a few minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
• Mix the paparika, cayenne pepper and black pepper together.
• In a small skillet, heat butter and white wine until butter is completely melted.
• Prepare grill.
• ~note~I use my indoor grill, but these can be made on an outdoor grill too, but I would use a low flame!
• Remove shrimp from fridge and brush completely with melted butter.
• Sprinkle with seasonings.
• Grill on each side until shrimp are done.

Steps:

• Prepare cilantro oil by pureeing cilantro, canola oil, honey, lime juice, and salt to taste until smooth; pour into a bowl or bottle, and set aside.
• Prepare the chipotle vinaigrette by pureeing the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and garlic in a blender until smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour in the canola oil, and puree until creamy. Season to taste with salt, and set aside.
• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Cut the pancetta slices in half. Wrap a half slice of pancetta around each shrimp to cover. Grill until the pancetta has crisped, and the shrimp has turned opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• To serve, arrange cooked shrimp on a warmed serving platter or individual plates, and drizzle with chipotle vinaigrette and cilantro oil.
