Drunken Pirate Shrimp With Tropical Salsa

Recipe #302300 | 25 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 2 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Kali the Culinary Student

This recipe actually won Contessa's "Cook Like a Pirate" recipe contest, so I was pretty excited about it! It's a very nice light meal and the pirate theme is fun for the whole family.

Posted on: May 6, 2008

Ingredients

  • cup coconut rum
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced
  • tablespoon garlic, minced
  • tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 12 large shrimp, thawed and peeled
  • Tropical Treasure Salsa

    Directions

    1. 1
      In a saute pan, add rum, pineapple juice, red onion, garlic, red pepper, salt, and ginger and bring to simmer on medium heat. Let cook for5-7 minutes, to allow the flavors of the vegetables to let out. Gently drop shrimp into the pan and braise on medium low heat until pink, about 4 minutes. Remove shrimp and arrange half in each avocado skin "chests". Serve with rice for a fuller meal.
    2. 2
      For salsa, after chopping all ingredients to appropriate size, mix together and season with salt and pepper. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to marinate. Serve over hot shrimp, to look like an opened chest of buried treasure. Drizzle pan sauce over the whole dish for extra flavor.
