Firecracker Raspberry Chipotle Glazed Shrimp (adapted from a Fresh Market recipe)
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil (divided)
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 cup red and green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped scallion (white and green parts)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup Chardonnay
2/3 cup Bronco Bob's Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce (I bought this at Fresh Market)
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
3 tbsp Fresh Cilantro chopped (divided)
Preparation:
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes. While your skillet is heating, toss the shrimp in a large bowl with 2 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. fresh cilantro, salt and pepper. Set aside.
To the heated skillet, add the remaining olive oil and swirl to coat. Add bell peppers and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add the seasoned shrimp and saute until the shrimp just begin to turn pink, an additional 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the wine scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Then add the chopped scallion followed by the Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce, stirring to thoroughly combine. Sprinkle with the remaining Cilantro and garnish with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately with a rice of your choosing.
You'll have to enjoy a glass of Chardonnay along with this meal so you don't waste the rest of the wine in the bottle!!!
I know you and your family will love this one.
Bon Appetit!!!
P.S. If you can't find this particular brand of BBQ sauce, I'd suggest substituting any chipotle enhanced sauce you can find and add some raspberry jam to make your own. You'll want a fairly thick consistency for the sauce so it gives the "glazed" appearance.
