I had this at his restaurant, Johnny Garlic's and loved it. I made it at home last night and it tasted exactly the same. It is spicey. I only put in 1 1/2 peppers and it was not as spicey as it was at the restaurant, but perfect. It is an easy recipe to make. Ingredients:
1 ounce olive oil |
4 louisiana hot link sausages, all beef, cut in 6 bias slices |
20 raw shrimp, deveined and shelled |
2 cups heavy cream |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 lb cooked penne pasta |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated plus more for serving |
1 tablespoon diced roma tomato |
1 tablespoon diced scallion |
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce |
3/4 cup canola oil |
1/3 cup lemon juice |
3/4 ounce dijon mustard |
1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo |
3/4 ounce red chili pepper flakes |
1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Make the Chipotle Sauce first. Combine all ingredients in blender, puree, cover and refrigerate.
2. In saute pan over high heat, add olive oil and hot links. Sear links until browned.
3. Add the shrimp and cook until pink. Lower heat to medium.
4. Add cream, 3/4 of the Chipotle Sauce, salt and pepper.
