Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce

 David thought this was great; Maria thought it was ok to pretty-good.

We did modify the original recipe a bit.

Here's the original:  (we halved what's below)

Ingredients:

3 tomatoes, halved and seeded

1/4 cup olive oil

3-5 smoke chipotle chilies in adobo sauce

1/2 cup grated ginger

2.5 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 Tbsp orange zest

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup orange juice

salt and pepper

-------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 400F.  Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil.  Roast for 30 minutes.

Blend tomatoes, chipotles, and half the ginger. Season with salt and strain into a shallow bowl.  Add shrimp and marinate, covered, a few hours to overnight.

Heat remaining oil and saute remaining ginger over low heat for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown.  Add orange zest and garlic and saute another 2 min. Pour in orange juice and simmer for a few more minutes.  dd shrimp and marinade and cook for 3-6 minutes until cooked.

Serve with spinach and mashed potatoes or white rice.

** David would serve it with rice and beans for a complete meal.
