Inspired by New Orleans's barbecue shrimp, our recipe substitutes chipotle chiles for the traditional cayenne and black pepper. Though this dish is often served as a first course in restaurants, our version is intended as a main course. Use the bread for scooping up the sauce. You could add a green salad or, better yet, stick with the out-of-hand theme and serve it with corn on the cob. Ingredients:
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter |
1/4 cup dry red wine |
1 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 to 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, minced, plus 2 to 3 teaspoons adobo sauce |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 lb medium shrimp (not shelled) |
accompaniment: baguette |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in wine, Worcestershire sauce, chipotles, adobo sauce, garlic, and salt. Toss shrimp with sauce in a large shallow baking dish and bake in middle of oven until shrimp are just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Cooks' note: Shrimp with heads on may be used in this recipe you'll need 1 pound.
