If you can find bottled nopales (edible cactus) cut into strips and add for an exotic touch to this dish. Ingredients:
3 onions, chopped |
5 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
5 -7 ripe tomatoes, diced |
6 -8 green beans, cut into 2-in pieces, blanched for 1 minute |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 pinch ground allspice |
1 pinch ground cinnamon |
1/2-1 canned chipotle chile in adobo (with a bit of the marinade) |
2 cups fish stock (i like kitchen basics) or 2 cups water, mixed with a fish stock cubes (i like kitchen basics) |
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled |
fresh cilantro stem |
1 lime, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Lightly fry the onion and garlic in the oil over a low heat for 5-10 minutes or until softened. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add the green beans, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, chipotle chili and marinade, fish stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes just to combine the flavors.
3. Add the shrimp and cook for a few minutes only then remove the pan from heat and leave the shrimp to steep in the hot liquid to finish cooking. When they've turned a nice bright pink, they're cooked.
