Categories: Appetizers | Jaw | SeafoodServes: 2 Big eaters
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Large shrimp, butterflied
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 md Clove garlic, minced
- 1 tb Whipping cream
- 4 tb Chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tb Olive oil
- 4 md Tomatoes, peeled, seeded,
- And chopped
- 1 tb Chopped jalapeno chile
- 1 Lime (just the juice)
Instructions:
Bake shrimp in preheated 350-degree oven until barely firm, about 2
minutes. Remove and cool slightly. Mix goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic,
cream and 1/2 of cilantro together and season with salt and pepper. Pipe
cheese mixture onto butterflied part of each shrimp with a pastry bag or
spread on thickly with a knife. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees
and bake stuffed shrimp about 3 minutes or until opaque. Meanwhile, heat
olive oil in a skillet and cook tomatoes covered until their juice is
exuded, about 5 minutes. Add remaining cilantro, jalapeno, salt, pepper and
lime juice to taste. Cook uncovered until moisture has almost evaporated,
leaving just enough for a runny texture. Spoon tomato coulis onto warm
plates and serve stuffed shrimp on top.
