	Hotpad / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago Made this up last night out of what I had in the house. It goes great over rice or pasta. Spicy without being over the top. I actually used frozen (thawed) peeled and deveined Argentinean Red Shrimp from Trader Joe's (shhhhh...don't tell anyone) Prep:10m Cook:15m Servings:4	Hotpad

Ingredients

2 lbs peeled and deveined shrimp (I used something like 20 count)

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

2 Tbsp Butter (1 Tbsp reserved to finish sauce)

Zest of one lemon

Juice of one lemon

1 Tbsp finely chopped shallot

1 large clove finely chopped or pressed garlic

1 Chipotle chili chopped fine (from a can of Chipotle Chili in Adobo Sauce)

1 Tbsp Honey

1/3 cup chicken stock

3/4 cup heavy cream (let it sit out for a bit so it is not refrigerator cold)

Salt and fresh cracked pepper

Directions

Place the shrimp in a bowl and salt lightly and pepper moderately

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp of Butter

Drain any liquid from the bowl with the shrimp and toss shrimp into hot skillet

Cook shrimp just until they are no longer visibly translucent (about 3 minutes - depends on what size shrimp you use - do not overcook!)

Remove shrimp from skillet with a slotted spoon to a plate

Over high heat allow any liquid in the skillet to evaporate (takes a couple of minutes)

Add shallots and garlic and stir for a minute

Add lemon juice, lemon zest, chipotle and honey and stir for a minute

Add chicken stock and deglaze pan

Reduce for a couple of minutes until thick

Place the cream in larger cup and add three or four spoonfuls of the hot skillet mixture to the cream and stir (do not try using anything less than heavy cream...sorry)

Pour the cream mixture into the skillet

Adjust salt to taste and add fresh cracked pepper

Allow to come to a foamy boil while stirring

Add 1 Tbsp Butter and stir in

Add back in the shrimp and any juices from the plate

Stir to coat the shrimp and heat through (a minute or so)

Serve over your favorite pasta or rice

Wow what a delicious looking recipe. Both my husband and I cook with garlics every night and consume quite a bit of shrimp. Always looking for a new way to prepare seafood. Thanks for such a creative dish.

This sounds amazing, what a great concoction. Smart move with tempering the cream, it can ruin a whole dish if thats not done. I will definitly be making this yummy dish soon!

Wonderful use of what you had on hand! What a nice combo of flavors. I love using a bit of honey with something spicy like Chipotle. You don't even know it's there but it helps to temper the heat a bit.

Oh wow - how did I miss this great recipe? This has my name written all over it. I love seafood, so I am always looking for new ways to enjoy it. This will appear on my plate very soon. Thanks for such a luscious dish.

This is so not the place to come visit when you're hungry - ha! :)

Some really nice flavors going on here. Don't tell anyone, but I frequently use Costco's cooked, peeled, deveined, frozen shirmp. So easy to make a shrimp dish on a whim when you have them in the freezer, yes? Yum.
