Spicy Sweet Orange Shrimp
- 1 lb peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 2 oranges, zested and juiced
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 bunch green onions
- Jasmine Rice
- 1 Orange Zested and Juiced (separate from the previous)
Instructions
- Rinse the shrimp, pat dry and place in a bowl
- Put the chipotle, orange zest and juice from the 2 oranges, and the brown sugar into
- a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Toss this mixture with the shrimp and set aside.
- Cook the jasmine rice according to the package directions (mine takes about 15
- minutes)
- 5 minutes before the rice is finished, toss in the orange zest from the 3 rd orange and
- 2 Tbsp green onions.
- Now is when you start cooking the shrimp, too.
- Toss the shrimp into a hot skillet – I use cast iron- and cook until pink. This is about
- 3 to 4 minutes each side. Then squeeze a bit more orange juice over the shrimp, toss
- in some green onions and stir.
- Serve up the rice, with a squeeze of fresh orange juice, a sprinkle of orange zest and
- top with shrimp and fresh green onions
