Here's a very easy and very good shrimp recipe, from Gourmet magazine
of all places:
Baked Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce
Serves 4 (yeah, sure--the two of us polished it off in short order)
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 T Worcestershire sauce
1-2 canned chipotle in adobo sauce, minced*
2-3 t adobo sauce*
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 t salt
1 1/2 lbs. medium shrimp, unpeeled (finger food!)
Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.
Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in wine, Worcestershire,
chipotles, adobo sauce, garlic, and salt. Toss shrimp with sauce in a
large shallow baking dish and bake in the middle of the oven until
shrimp are just cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
Serve hot with bread or rice to mop up the sauce. We had baked winter
squash--the sauce was great on that, too--but bread would have been
good, too. Although it was fun to lick the plate.
*I substituted 1 T chipotle powder since canned chipotles are hard to
come by in northern Vermont. Have 'em, but hoard 'em.
Take care,
Margo
