CHUCK'S SHRIMP BROCHETTES

Steps:

• Make a deep slit along the back of each shrimp and spread to butterfly. Stuff each shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon queso fresco and some jalapeno. Close the shrimp around the cheese and jalapeno. Wrap the stuffed shrimp with a half-piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick or small skewer.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the adobo sauce, garlic powder and lime juice. Pour half of the butter mixture into a bowl for serving and divide the remaining half between 2 bowls for brushing and basting.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat; brush with olive oil. Brush one side of the shrimp with the butter mixture and put the shrimp on the grill buttered-side down. Using the same brush and same butter, brush the second side. Grill for a few minutes, checking to make sure the bacon is not sticking to the grill.
• Flip the shrimp and cook, flipping as needed and frequently basting with the second small bowl of butter and a clean brush, until the bacon is completely cooked and the shrimp are opaque, about 8 minutes total. Serve the shrimp on a platter with the remaining chipotle butter.

CHIPOTLE DRY-RUBBED SHRIMP "ON THE BAR-B"

Steps:

• Shell, clean, and devein shrimp. I leave the tails on for aesthetic reasons. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• In a medium-size bowl, mix oregano, thyme, lemon pepper, chipotle, salt, and black pepper. Toss shrimp thoroughly with mixed spices. Keep refrigerated until ready for cooking.
• Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron skillet or nonstick pan over high heat. Wait until oil is smoking hot, then place about 10 shrimp in it so that each has enough room to lie on its side. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
• Serve hot, or at room temperature, with cilantro dipping sauce. For that special surreal touch, serve shrimp piled up on a barbie doll.
• Blend cilantro and lime juice in a food processor or blender until cilantro is liquefied. Pour into a small bowl and use a fork to blend in sour cream until fully blended into a pale green sauce. Refrigerate until ready for use.

SCALLOP MANGO BROCHETTES

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onions and paprika cook until caramelized. Add tomato and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sauce cool. Puree in a blender until smooth. Add hot sauce and set aside. Clean sea scallops by removing the small muscle attached. Peel the ripe mango and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place one piece of mango and one scallop on skewer. Season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat ingredients with oil and grill until scallop is medium rare. Garnish with sauce and fresh cilantro.

BAKED PANKO CRUSTED CHIPOTLE SHRIMP WITH A MANGO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Marinade -- Mix the lime juice, chipoltes, orange juice, garlic, olive oil and cilantro in a large baggie. Add the shrimp and marinade no more than 1 hour, 30 minutes minimum.
• Mango Sauce -- To a food processor or a blender, add the mango, sour cream, honey, lime juice, adobo sauce, zest, ginger and brown sugar, with a pinch of salt. Blend until creamy. Just transfer to a bowl and refrigerate. NOTE: Taste, if they are very sweet mangos, you may want to eliminate the brown sugar. It just depends on the mango.
• Coating -- Panko, now when I coat shrimp since they are small, I like the crumbs to be a bit finer. So I pulse them a few times to "crunch them up" a bit to make them easier to coat the shimp, but it is not necessary.
• So, in two bowls; 1) for the panko crumbs, add some salt, pepper and fresh cilantro and mix well, 2) for the egg wash, simple beat the eggs. Then line a baking sheet with parchment or you can spray with non-stick spray. Next, dip the shrimp in the egg, and then dredge in the panko crumbs. Add to the baking sheet. MY trick -- I drizzle the melted butter over the shrimp. Adds a nice golden brown to the panko crumbs. Just a little over each shrimp.
• Bake -- Heat the oven to 425 degrees and bake the shrimp until golden brown. They only take 5-10 minutes (really depends on the size of the shrimp and your oven. Just watch them. They don't take long. Just when they start to get golden brown. You can always sample one to try to make sure -- Cooks PRIVILEGE!
• Serve -- On a big platter, put the mango sauce in the center, garnish with fresh cilantro and a lime slice if you want and then surround with the baked golden shrimp. A great appetizer and goes over great at any party.

SNAPPER WITH ORANGE CHIPOTLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the orange juice, vinegar, chipotle chilies, salt, and sugar and blend until chilies are finely chopped. With the motor running, add the oil in a steady stream and blend until incorporated. Adjust seasonings, add the mint and set aside. The vinaigrette can be refrigerated overnight without the mint, which should be added just before serving.
• Heat a grill. Brush fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, transfer snapper fillets to a serving platter or individual plates and drizzle with the orange chipotle vinaigrette.
