Seafood Chipotle

Contributed By: marie1
Chef Lucy Alvarez, Mambo Restaurante Cubano

This is a saucy mixture of lobster, scallops and shrimp, cooked in a chipotle cream sauce, then served over a bed of rice.

Ingredients

8 Jumbo shrimp, about 1/2 pound
8 Large scallops, about 3/4 pound
8 cloves Garlic, divided
2 tsp Salt, divided
3 tbsp Oil, divided
2 Chipotle peppers, packed in adobo sauce
1/2 Small onion, chopped
 Juice of 1/2 lime
1 pound Uncooked lobster meat
1/4 cup Dry white wine
1/2 cup Whipping cream

Preparation

1. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Place in a bowl. Rinse the scallops and pat dry; add to the shrimp.


2. Use a fork to mash together 4 cloves of garlic and 1 tsp of salt in a bowl. Add to the shrimp along with 2 tbsp of oil; mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.


3. The next day, place the chipotles, onion, lime juice and remaining garlic and salt in a food processor; pulse until a paste forms.


4. Heat the remaining tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chipotle mixture and the wine and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and scallops along with the lobster. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add the cream, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook's Notes

You'll find canned chipotles in adobo sauce in the ethnic aisle of most supermarkets.

delicious; used olive oil and skipped the whipping cream for my high cholesterol.

Absolutely fabulous!! I would recommend cooking the scallops a bit first before adding the shrimp.
