Butterflied Shrimp in Hot Chocolate Sauce



Serves 4 
8 Large Prawns ( shrimp) in the shell 
1 tbsp AP flour 
1 tbsp dry sherry 
juice from a lg orange 
1 1/2 oz of bittersweet chocolate ( chopped up good) 
2 tbsp EVOO 
2 garlic cloves 
piece of ginger root ( finely chopped up, you may be able to buy this already cut up) 
small dried chili ( chop up with seeds) 
salt & pepper to season if you wish 

~Peel the shrimp leaving the tails on then butterfly your shrimp ( cutting along the back and cleaning out the dark intestinal tract)once this is done press them down to flatten out the backs of them , then dust them with the AP flour 
~ On low heat in a saute pan add your sherry, orange juice and heat , once heated remove from direct heat and add your chocolate stirring till melted. 
~In another saute pan add your EVOO to med-high heat, then add your garlic, ginger and chili . Cook for about 2 mins until all is golden. With a slotted spoon remove all bits from the oil and put in a bowl. Then add your prawns cut side down and cook for about 2-3 mins until golden brown, then turn and cook for another 2 mins. 
~ Return your garlic mixture, and then pour your chocolate sauce over your Prawns. Cook for about a min turning your prawns so they get evenly coated in the sauce. Season to taste and serve it up.

  1. Hey, just saw your post over on MFP so thought I'd join ya here to follow your recipes easier... Took me forever to find the Taco one last night once I got back online... :) This is my fitness journal, but I don't seem to get in here as often that I am using MFP more than for just logging my meals...
