This is our version of a Mexican dish in which tortilla dough is shaped like a boat and fried until crisp; in fact, chalupa means boat in Spanish. Regular chili powder is a blend that tastes mostly of cumin. Chipotle chile powder is pure ground dried chiles, and it packs a hot punch. For more heat use all chipotle powder, or tame the spice by substituting all chili powder. Ingredients:
1 cup chopped peeled mango |
3 tablespoons prechopped red onion |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder |
32 large peeled, deveined shrimp (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl, and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
2. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, chili powder, chipotle powder, and shrimp in a large bowl. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done. Remove shrimp from pan; keep warm.
3. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel. Return pan to heat; add 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Place 3 tortillas in pan; cook 30 seconds on each side or until tortillas puff slightly. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and tortillas.
4. Place 2 tortillas on each of 4 plates, and arrange 4 shrimp on each tortilla. Top shrimp with about 2 tablespoons mango mixture, and serve immediately.
