Roasted Shrimp Stuffed Green Chiles Recipes

SHRIMP-STUFFED CHILES

Steps:

• Pour enough vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the chiles and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and set aside.
• In a separate pan, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onions and saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the bell peppers and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season the filling with salt and pepper.
• Cut a lengthwise slit in each chile and carefully scoop out the seeds, leaving the stem intact. (For milder heat, carefully cut out the ribs.) Divide the shrimp filling among the chiles, then close, overlapping the sides of each opening slightly.
• On a shallow serving platter, toss the cucumber, sliced onions, soy sauce and lime juice and spread out on the platter. Arrange the chiles, seam-side up, on top of the salad and serve.

CUMIN-ROASTED SHRIMP WITH GREEN CHILE COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the peppers, cilantro, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until smooth.
• Serve the shrimp hot, cold or at room temperature with the sauce. (The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.)

ROASTED SHRIMP STUFFED GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Leaving stems on, slit chiles lengthwise down one side and under cold water, clean out seeds and ribs.
• Mix shrimp, green onion and 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce.
• Mix the sharp and mozzarella together.
• In small saucepan, warm up remaining enchilada sauce and keep warm.
• Stuff each chile with 1/4 of the shrimp filling and top with 1/4 of the cheese filling and pack down. Chile may be pulled open a little to pack filling. You should have about a 2" opening after stuffing so cheese is showing.
• Place chiles stuffed side up in a lightly greased baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered at 400 degrees until chiles are soft and lightly tinged with brown. About 25 minutes.
• To serve: Top each chile with remaining enchilada sauce, a dollup of sour cream and chopped cilantro.
