Ingredients
- 3 whole adobo chipotles (canned)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch coarse ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds raw, peeled shrimp
- 1/4 onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup tequila, for flambeing
- Tostadas
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Directions
In a blender combine chipotle, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Blend until ingredients are combined. You can always add more peppers for a hotter sauce. Set aside for later.
In a large skillet on medium high heat, melt butter. When butter has melted add onion and garlic and sauté until onion has become translucent.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 min until they start changing color (a pinkish tone). Season with salt and pepper.
Add the tequila to the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly over the burner to ignite the tequila and cook until the flames subside.
When the flames have cooled down, return skillet to medium high heat and add chipotle cream. Let sauce simmer.
Place shrimp on tostada, and garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
