Sauteed Shrimp With Ancho Chiles And Garlic Recipes

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH ANCHO CHILES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium low heat. Cook the garlic slices until tender but not brown. Transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels and reserve.
• Turn the heat under the skillet to high. Toss the shrimp with the salt and pepper. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the shrimp. Saute, stirring and shaking the pan to prevent sticking, 3 to 4 minutes or just until shrimp are slightly under cooked. Remove from the heat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a platter, leaving as much liquid as possible in the skillet.
• Return skillet to burner, and reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic slices and the anchos, and saute, stirring frequently, until the oil begins to turn orange from the chiles. Stir in fish stock/clam juice, along with the shrimp and any juice that has collected on the platter. Add the lime juice and parsley, bring to a boil, and remove from heat.
• Serve immediately over white rice.

SAUTEED SHRIMP IN ANCHO CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the shrimp. Rinse them, and place them in iced water with the coarse salt. Soak for an hour.
• Place the chilies in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for an hour.
• Remove the chilies from the water (reserving it) and take away the seeds and stems. Tear into large strips and place the chilies in a blender. Add the lemon or lime juice and enough of the soaking liquid to make a smooth puree. Set aside.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and add the garlic and shallots. Cook until soft.
• Add the shrimp and cook for one minute, then add one-and-a-half tablespoons ancho puree. Cook, stirring for a couple of minutes (beware of overcooking the shrimp). Taste and stir in more puree according to your taste. Season with salt and pepper and add the coriander. Serve immediately.
