Directions for: Orange Chipotle Shrimp
Ingredients
1 lb(s) black tiger prawns, peeled and deveined, twenty-one or twenty-five count (500g)
1 Tbsp chipotle chilli, canned in adobe sauce, chopped (15ml)
Juice of 2 fresh oranges, seeds removed
3 Tbsp cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (45ml) + cilantro sprigs for garnish
1 Tbsp grape seed oil (15ml)
Salt to taste
Directions
1. Place the cleaned shrimp into a medium glass bowl.
2. Remove one chipotle chilli from the can and dice finely. Place in a separate medium bowl. Juice the oranges over the bowl containing the chopped chipotle chilli. Add the chopped cilantro and grape seed oil. Using a small whisk, mix the ingredients until evenly combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the shrimp and allow them to marinate for 15 minutes.
4. Preheat a cast iron grill pan over high heat for 3 minutes. Remove the shrimps from the marinade and season with salt. Discard marinade.
5. Place the shrimp in the pan without overcrowding. Allow the shrimp to cook (without moving them) for approximately 1 1/2 minutes. The shrimp will be ready to flip when they have lost their opaque colour and caramelized char marks appear. Flip the shrimp and repeat the same process for the other side.
6. Remove the cooked shrimp from pan. Plate and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.
