QUICK SHRIMP ENCHILADA BAKE



Quick Shrimp Enchilada Bake image

Shrimp enchiladas offer a taste of coastal Mexican cuisine but some versions contain so much cheese, butter and sour cream that they can pack a whopping 50 grams of fat per serving. Our version has vibrant flavor and only half the calories and 6 grams of fat per serving, plus we use precooked peeled shrimp so you can get the dish on your table fast enough for a weeknight supper. The addition of refried beans helps makes these enchiladas an excellent source of fiber as well.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound peeled cooked shrimp, (see Ingredient Note), tails removed, diced
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
2 4-ounce cans chopped green chiles, (not drained)
2 cups canned green enchilada sauce, or green salsa, divided

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 pound medium shrimp (peeled and deveined (I use frozen shrimp, then thaw it))
1 1/2 teaspoons ground chili powder (divided)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin (divided)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
2 small jalapenos (or 1 large jalapeno, core and seeds discarded, diced)
2 red bell peppers (cored and chopped)
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can reduced sodium black beans - (15 ounces, rinsed and drained)
1 cup long-grain brown rice (do not use short grain or instant, as it will become mushy)
2 cans diced tomatoes in green chiles, such as Rotel (10-ounce cans, 20 ounces total)
1 1/2 cups water
3 medium green onions (chopped)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus additional for serving)
1 lime (cut into wedges)
additional sliced jalapeno
sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
diced avocado

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, swirl to coat the pan, then add the shrimp. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir to coat the shrimp with the spices, then continue to saute just until the shrimp is pink and fully cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil, onion, jalapeno, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, black pepper, the remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon cumin. Stir to coat the vegetables and cook 30 seconds. Add the rice and beans. Stir to coat once more.
  • Add the diced tomatoes in their juices and water. Stir to combine the ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer 30 minutes. Remove the lid and stir, scraping up any rice that has started to stick to the bottom of the pot. Re-cover and continue to let simmer with the lid on until the rice is tender, 10 to 15 additional minutes, stirring the pot every 10 minutes to prevent sticking. If the rice begins to dry out, add a bit more water as needed.
  • Stir in the green onions, cilantro, and reserved shrimp. Squeeze the lime over the top. Serve warm with desired toppings.

CHILE-CRISP SHRIMP AND GREEN BEANS



Chile-Crisp Shrimp and Green Beans image

This stir-fry is inspired by the taste and textures of chile crisp, that fiery condiment made by infusing oil with dried chiles, garlic and shallots. For this 20-minute recipe, make a quick version of the oil while the shrimp marinates in a combination of soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Use the infused oil to cook the green beans (or asparagus), shrimp and peanuts, then serve topped with the fried shallots and garlic. It's a deeply savory, spicy and satisfying dinner.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weeknight, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 large shallot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced through the root
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 cinnamon stick
10 ounces green beans or asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, red-pepper flakes and cumin. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Set aside while you fry the shallots and garlic.
  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a heat-proof bowl next to the stove. In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil, shallot, garlic and cinnamon stick over medium-high. When the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the shallots, until golden brown, 5 to 9 minutes. (Lower the heat if the shallots are browning too quickly.) Drain through the sieve, catching the oil in the bowl below. Discard the cinnamon, season the fried shallots and garlic with salt, and set aside.
  • Return the oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high. Add the green beans, season with salt and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the green beans to one side, then add the shrimp and the marinade, along with the peanuts (if using), and cook until the shrimp is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stir the green beans and shrimp to combine, then sprinkle with the fried shallots and garlic. Serve immediately, over rice or noodles, or in lettuce cups, if desired.

GREEN PIPIAN



Green Pipian image

This classic Mexican pumpkin seed sauce, also known as green mole, is tangy, herbal and spicy all at the same time. Serve it with poached or pan-cooked chicken breasts, fish (it's very pretty with salmon), or shrimp. You can bathe grilled vegetables with it, or serve it with white beans and steamed or poached vegetables. Hulled untoasted pumpkin seeds are available in many whole foods stores and Mexican markets.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dips and spreads, one pot

Time 40m

Yield Makes about 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup hulled untoasted pumpkin seeds
1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and coarsely chopped, or 2 13-ounce cans, drained
1 serrano chile or 1/2 jalapeño (more to taste), stemmed and roughly chopped
3 romaine lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
1/4 small white onion, coarsely chopped, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
2 garlic cloves, halved, green shoots removed
1/4 cup loosely packed chopped cilantro
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon canola or extra virgin olive oil
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat and add the pumpkin seeds. Wait until you hear one pop, then stir constantly until they have puffed and popped, and smell toasty. They should not get any darker than golden or they will taste bitter. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Place the cooled pumpkin seeds in a blender and add the tomatillos, chiles, lettuce, onion, garlic, cilantro, and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock. Cover the blender and blend the mixture until smooth, stopping the blender to stir if necessary.
  • Heat the oil in the Dutch oven or heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a bit of the pumpkin seed mixture and if it sizzles, add the rest. Cook, stirring, until the mixture darkens and thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. It will splutter, so be careful. Hold the lid of the pot above the pot to shield you and your stove from the splutters. Add the remaining chicken stock, bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce is thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt. For a silkier sauce, blend again in batches.
