SHRIMP IN PUMPKIN SEED SAUCE
Number Of Ingredients 12
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.
