Mojo marinated shrimp
- Share via
These marinated shrimp are a complex blend of sweet and citrus and smoke. All of that is underlined by a slight bitterness from the orange pith.

Put the chipotle puree in a blender and juice the orange into it. Add the salt.
Cut one of the orange halves in half again; and then cut that half in half to make an eighth of an orange. Cut away the pulp from the peel of that section, but leave the white pith. Dice the peel and pith as finely as possible and add to the blender. Grind chipotle, juice and orange in the blender to a coarse puree. Season to taste.
Put the shrimp in a plastic bag; add the puree and the onion. Seal tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Empty into a serving bowl and spear each shrimp with a toothpick.
