SHRIMP IN GREEN MOLE
There are only three basic steps to making green mole: Whip up a purée of toasted pumpkin seeds, tomatillos and chiles in a blender; sear the purée in oil and cook it until it thickens slightly; then add chicken stock and simmer until the mixture is creamy. Once the sauce is done, you can poach shrimp right in it; it only takes five to eight minutes to cook them in the simmering mole. Better yet, you can make the sauce up to three days ahead and keep it refrigerated until you're ready to use it, or freeze it (whisk or blend to restore its consistency after thawing).

Steps:
- Heat a heavy straight-sided skillet or a saucepan over medium heat and add pumpkin seeds. Wait until you hear one seed pop, then stir constantly until they have puffed and popped and smell toasty, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let them darken beyond golden or they will taste bitter. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Remove 2 tablespoons to use as garnish and set aside.
- Place remaining cooled pumpkin seeds in a blender and add tomatillos, chile, lettuce, onion, garlic, cilantro and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Cover blender and blend mixture until smooth, stopping the blender to stir if necessary.
- Heat oil in the skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin and let it sizzle for a couple of seconds, then add puréed tomatillo mixture. Cook, stirring often, until sauce darkens and thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. It will splutter, so be careful. You can hold the lid above the pot to shield yourself and the stove, or set the lid on the pot to partly cover it.
- Add remaining cup of chicken stock, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until sauce is thick and creamy, 10 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
- Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Shortly before serving, bring mole sauce to a simmer and add shrimp. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through but still moist. Serve over rice, garnishing each serving with toasted pumpkin seeds and cilantro.

COCONUT FLAKE SHRIMP WITH PUMPKIN CURRY DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- For the shrimp:
- Pour enough oil into a medium sized saucepan so that it is half full. Place the pot over medium to high heat until the oil reaches 340 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cornstarch. Stir in the beer, soda water, egg and a pinch of salt until combined. In a separate bowl, add coconut. Place shrimp, tail end first, on bamboo skewers. Dip each skewer into the cornstarch batter and then into the coconut. Fry the shrimp in the oil until the coconut is nicely browned and the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Place shrimp skewers onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- For the dipping sauce:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, curry powder and brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly add the coconut milk and continue to cook. Lower the heat and let the ingredients simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and cool. Add the lime juice and salt, to taste. Serve in a bowl alongside the coconut shrimp.

Steps:
- 1. Place the shrimp in a large saucepan with the water, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and onion. Bring to a boil, over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the shrimp are pink and curled, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, lift the shrimp and onion from the cooking liquid. Save the cooking liquid to use for the sauce base. Set the onion aside on a plate. 2. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel and devein. Put the shrimp shells in the pan of cooking liquid. Put the cleaned shrimp in a bowl and set aside. Bring the liquid with shrimp shells to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Pour the shrimp broth through a strainer into a bowl. Reserve the broth and discard the shells. 3. In a dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring constantly, until they pop about in the pan and are aromatic. Spread the seeds out on a plate to cool then grind to a powder in a spice grinder. (I use a coffee grinder reserved for spices.) 4. Put 2 cups of the shrimp broth into a blender jar. Add the ground pumpkin seeds, reserved onion, cilantro, and serranos. Blend until smooth. 5. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and cream. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Stir in the shrimp. Heat through. Adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
