Best Tequila Flamed Rock Shrimp With Chipotle Coulis Recipes

HONEY-TEQUILA GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat an indoor grill plate over high heat.
• Whisk together the honey, clementine juice, cumin, chipotle powder, salt, lime zest and juice and 2 ounces of the tequila in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature
• Set a strainer over a bowl and drain the shrimp completely, reserving the marinade for later. Grill the shrimp on both sides until super charred and no longer opaque in the middle, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the reserved marinade and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp and stir to coat in the sauce. Turn off the flame, then add the remaining 2 ounces tequila. Turn the flame back on to medium high and carefully tilt the pan to ignite the tequila (you can also use a match or lighter to flambe the tequila off heat). Once the flames subside, plate and serve.

CHIPOTLE TEQUILA SHRIMP TACOS

• Drain shrimp, discarding marinade. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, tomatoes and tomatillo to skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Toss shrimp with kosher salt and 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper.
• Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté shrimp, turning, until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add tequila, then increase heat to medium-high. Tilt skillet over gas burner to ignite tequila (or ignite with a long match; use caution, as flames may shoot up high). Cook, shaking skillet gently once or twice, until flames subside. Remove from heat and stir in crema. Serve sprinkled with scallion.
