Camarones Chile Rellenos (Shrimp stuffed Chile Pepper)

I love Mexican Food ! This is one of my favorite things to make at home.. you need nothing to go with this dish, it stands on it's own. This may seem like a lot of work but it's not.. just a lot of steps - but simple.

Prepare pepper sauces first. Roast two red bell peppers and two yellow bell peppers in over, cut in half and take out seeds. Oven 400, about 15 minutes. Let sit, remove skin.

Ancho Red Pepper Sauce :

2 roasted red bell peppers

1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - you need only "one" chipotle pepper or 1 TB of the sauce in the can this stuff is hot.

3-4 Tb crema (Mexican cream) or use sour cream

1/2 tsp of cumin

1/2 tsp regular chile powder

1 tsp garlic, minced

In a blender add all the above ingredients and blend until smooth.

Yellow Pepper Sauce :

Two roasted yellow peppers

1 TB dijon mustard

1 TB Garlic, minced

1 TB Honey

pinch of salt.

In a blender, add all ingredients , blend until smooth.

Pour pepper sauces into squeeze bottles. You don't have to, you can just pour little with spoon over when serving.

Ingredients :

Four Poblano/Pasilla peppers - (these are slightly hot and hotter if you leave seeds and vein in)

1 1/2 lb small "fresh" shrimp, shelled and cleaned

2 Tb Butter

1 Tb Mince Garlic

1 Tb Ancho Chile powder

2 green onions, sliced

2 cups Montery cheese

1/2 Queso Fresco ( Mexican cheese, if you don't have, don't worry, leave out)

The Poblano pepper : make a slit on one side of peppers. Put in a pot of boiling water, boil on medium heat for about 20 minutes to soften peppers. You can also roast them. Remove seeds and veins... unless you love heat !

In a pan, add butter, garlic. Add Shrimp - cook about 3-4 minutes. They cook quick.

Remove from pan , put in bowl and add the remaining ingredients - cheese, ancho chile powder and green onions.

Stuff each Poblano pepper with the shrimp and cheese mixture.

Bake in 375 oven for about 20 minutes.

PLATING :

Place Shrimp stuffed pepper on plate, drizzle with the two pepper sauces.

Serve and Enjoy Every Bite !
