Camarones Con Salsa Blanca - farnfam - 09-29-2006 I saw a picture of this but no recipe. So I decided to try to do it. We had it tonite and we did love it. Let me know what you think Camarones Con Salsa Blanca For the Shrimp: 1 pkg frzn cooked Jumbo Shrimp, defrost tails off 1 large red pepper, roasted, peeled and sliced 1 large onion sliced Lightly spray a pan with oil and sauté all at med high heat for about 3-4 minutes. Remove and keep warm For the salsa: 1T veg oil 1/2 onion diced 1T minced garlic 2T Cilantro 3T tequila 1sm can diced jalapeños 1/4 C Masa harina 1/2 C half and half 1 can chicken broth (you won't use it all) Sauté onion, garlic and cilantro till slightly browned. Deglaze with tequila. Stir in jalapeños. Simmer a minute or two. Sprinkle on Masa and stir. Gradually add half and half and thicken. Add chicken broth to desired thickness or thiness. Put shrimp mixture back in and warm thru. Serve over lime and cilantro rice BTW this serves 2 generously Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - Bizymomma - 09-29-2006 Cis... This sounds so yummy! Rings a familiar tone of Mexico! Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - lxxf - 09-29-2006 Sounds good, but I think it's spelled camArones. I speak Spanish and the only reason I'm correcting the spelling is that if someone wants to google it, they need to have the right spelling. When we lived in Panama '82-'84, we'd rent this place on the beach, and fishermen would come around with fresh camarones, we'd just heat some olive oil, butter, minced garlic, and fry us up some shrimp. We didn't shell or devein them. Man, that was some good eating! Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - farnfam - 09-29-2006 Thanks Ixxf I speak a little Spanish myself, but I guess I still spell American,(says Cis looking sheepish) LOL Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - cjs - 09-30-2006 My, doesn't that sound tasty!! duly copied. Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - Roxanne 21 - 09-30-2006 This is on my to do list and copied/printed. Thanks for the new shrimp idea---love those!! Question--what could I use for masa harina replacement--we can't get that here---AND what is it??? Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - cjs - 10-01-2006 Roxanne - masa harina means 'dough' and masa is the dough used for making corn tortillas. I'll bet you could use a little polenta? What do you others think? Re: Camarones Con Salsa Blanca - farnfam - 10-01-2006 Polenta/cornmeal might make it grainy, I would just use reg. flour if I didn't have masa. Or to really be technical, maybe a mix of cornmeal and flour run thru a spice grinder might work. You don't need very much for this recipe, not to worry. BTW here's the picture http://melsmex.com/camarones.htm Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - cjs - 10-02-2006 ...or potato flakes... Re: Camerones Con Salsa Blanca - farnfam - 10-02-2006 That does sound yummy cj! And flakes would make the "blanca" color nicer too. My "blanca" wasn't as white looking as the picture. |
