Baked Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce


Yield: 6 servings
Source: Gourmet Magazine
Comments from a cook in CA: This was awesome. Served it to 6 for dinner. Did not have shrimp so I used scallops, but next time will do it with the shrimp. The sauce is really good – next time I will make brown rice perhaps or maybe polenta or couscous which are friendlier than the suggested French bread. Very easy.

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 chipotle chile canned in adobo -- minced, plus 2 to 3 teaspoons adobo sauce
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp -- not shelled

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in wine, Worcestershire sauce, chipotles, adobo sauce, garlic, and salt. Toss shrimp with sauce in a large shallow baking dish and bake in middle of oven until shrimp are just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Serve with a baguette to sop up the sauce!
