Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chile de arbol powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 24 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces arugula, washed and dried
  • Smoked Chile Vinaigrette, recipe follows
  • Gaufrettes, recipe follows
  • Green Chile Goat Cheese, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine the ancho chile powder, light brown sugar, chile de arbol, cinamon, and cumin, and set aside. In a medium size bowl, place the shrimp. Salt and pepper the shrimp aggressively. Then, sprinkle the shrimp with the spice mixture on both sides. Place the shrimp on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Roast for 4 to 5 minutes, or until just cooked through. Place the arugula in a bowl, drizzle with some of the Smoked Chile Vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the seasoned arugula among 4 plates. Place 6 shrimp around the plate. Spread the gaufrettes with the Green Chile Goat Cheese and place along side each shrimp. Drizzle with more of the vinaigrette and chopped cilantro.

Smoked Chile Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper puree in adobo
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Combine vinegar, chipotle and cilantro in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. Season with honey, salt, and pepper, to taste.

Green Chile Goat Cheese:

  • 1 large poblano pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 8 ounces goat cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

For the Gaufrettes: Heat oil in a medium high-sided pan to 360 degrees F. Slice potatoes on a mandoline into gaufrettes. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown on both sides. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and salt immediately. For the Green Chile Goat Cheese: Place chile and goat cheese in a food processor and process until combined. Season with salt and pepper.

    I had to improvise with several things; I didn't have special ancho or chile de arbol powder; I used regular old chile powder. In place of the chipotle pepper puree and honey (2 tablespoons, I used a balsamic/chipotle glaze I had in the pantry, and that worked great! And I made focaccia instead of the gaufrettes, and sprinkled the top with the spice blend that you use on the shrimp. I added some extra things to the salad: tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, pine nuts... it made for a great dinner!

    I would have rated this 5 stars if it didn't take so long to make! The flavors were amazing. I couldn'r find the chile de arbol powder, so I ommitted it and it still tasted great. Next time I entertain, I would make the smaoked vinaigrette and the green chile goat cheese a day ahead to save time. I made this recipe that serves 4 as an entree salad for my husband and myself and it was just the right amount.
