Chipotle Shrimp

I think I’ve said on here before that my husband is the main cook of the family. I know, I totally nailed it on picking the right one! So he does the day to day cooking and I do what I like to call “party” cooking. Today I’m going to share with you a recipe that has secured a spot on our weekly menu and I get PUMPED about it because it’s THAT good. This recipe is a modified version of a Rick Bayless recipe, the rice is a not-so-secret-anymore-hubby recipe.

Chipotle Shrimp & Rice
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup red wine
1 1/2 tbsp worcestershire
2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 lb shrimp

Melt butter. Saute garlic for 30 seconds. Add remainder of ingredients. Add shrimp and cook for 5 minutes. Fold rice in…see below for rice recipe.

Rice (seriously best.rice.ever. it’s a ricegasm)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 chopped onion
1 tsp minced garlic (or that little jar of roasted garlic sooooo easy)
