Okay,
This is a little late, but here's an untried (by me) recipe lifted from this
month's Texas Monthly (which also lists their idea of the best Mexican
restaurants in Texas). Doesn't have chiles in it, but I can't see that being
too hard to fix.
Cilantro-Pumpkin Seed Shrimp
Sauce
1 bunch cilantro (trim large stems)
1/4 c. raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds, shelled)
1/4 c. grated parmesan or queso cojita
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 olive oil
Puree everything to a pesto consistency
Shrimp
2 T. olive oil
24 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
1/4 c. white wine
1 c. cream
salt and pepper
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the shrimp and saute until opaque. Remove
and keep warm. Deglaze the pan with wine and reduce for 1 minute.. Add the
cream and reduce to a sauce-like consistency. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of the
pumpkin seed paste. Season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled over the
shrimp.
