Рецепт Chipotle-Rubbed Shrimp Taco Salad
Chipotle-Rubbed Shrimp Taco Salad
I must say here that I am going to rave and rave about this recipe. The minute I saw this recipe in the recent issue of Cooking Light, I knew it was going to get put on my menu plan. It has all the flavors I love. Lime, cilantro, mango, chipotle and last but not least shrimp.
If Grumpy were here I am fairly certain he would not have partook in this absolutely awseomely delicious meal. (I told you I was going to rave....). As a matter of fact I am certain if he had been here he would not have eaten the mango. He's not big on tomatoes either but will eat them. He may have eaten the dressing but I actually see him eating this with ranch dressing and "regular" salad fixings. It would still probably be good that way, but believe me when I say it again. This recipe as is - is awesome. Have I convinced you yet? If I have....then go make this. SOON. You will not regret it! The only thing you might regret is the stuffed tummy ache you may have from not being able to stop eating it!
Chipotle-Rubbed Shrimp Taco Salad
adapted from Cooking Light
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons minced shallots
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla taco salad shell (I made my own with my homemade flour tortilla - directions at end of post)
- 1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil *
- 6 cups romaine hearts, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled ripe mango (about 1 large)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add oil, stirring constantly.
Bake tortilla shells at 350°. If using homemade tortillas to make shells, drape warmed tortilla (I warm in microwave about 15 seconds) over a mini ramekin. Spray with butter spray and place on cookie sheet in oven. Bake until crisped.
While shells bake, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Combine shrimp, chili powders, and salt in a large bowl and toss well to coat. Add shrimp to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until done.
Combine lettuce, mango, and tomato. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad; toss to coat. Place about 1 1/2 cups salad in each tortilla shell; divide shrimp evenly among salads.
*I do not use a lot of fat in my recipes - but when cooking shrimp I don't like to dry fried them or used Pam.
