Flamed Shrimp Chipotle Tostadas Recipes

FLAMBEED SHRIMP CHIPOTLE TOSTADAS

Steps:

• For the spicy chipotle crema: In a blender, add the sour cream, milk, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and chiles and blend until combined. You can always add more peppers for a hotter sauce. Set aside.
• For the tostadas: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and onion and saute until translucent. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp start to change to a pinkish tone, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tequila to the skillet and tilt the skillet slightly over the burner to ignite it. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the flames subside, then return it back to medium-high heat. Add the chipotle crema, bring to a simmer and cook until fully combined and warm, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the shrimp mixture among the tostadas and sprinkle with the cilantro.

CHIPOTLE SHRIMP TOSTADAS

Steps:

• In a medium, deep skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil until hot.
• Fry one tortilla at a time over moderately high heat until lightly golden on both sides, about 2 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt(while they are still hot!)
• Preheat a grill pan.
• In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and the chipotle chile powder; season the shrimp with salt.
• Grill the shrimp over moderately high heat, turning once, until they are browned in spots and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage with the tomato, scallions, sour cream and lime juice and season with salt.
• Set the tortillas on plates and top with the cabbage slaw, chipotle shrimp, avocado, radishes and cilantro.

• Tilt the pan slightly over the burner to ignite the tequila and cook until the flames subside. (Alternatively, remove the pan from the heat and ignite with a match, then return to the heat.)
