"This is a great, low fat, easy, hearty dish. It's my default dish when I don't know what to make since I always have the ingredients on hand. To give proper credit, I got this recipe from Quick Recipe by the editors of Cooks Illustrated."

ingredients

2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained but with 3/4 c. liquid reserved
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 medium garlic cloves
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 ¹⁄₂ lbs shrimp, tail-off, peeled and deveined
1 cup rice
salt and pepper
¹⁄₂ cup fresh cilantro (optional)
1 lime, juice of, squeezed for juice (optional)

directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Combine tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper to season.
Spread mixture onto a foil-lined baking sheet and place in lowest rack of oven.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until speckled brown (some black is okay).
Meanwhile, cook rice if serving over rice.
Meanwhile, cook shrimp in olive oil, one tablespoon per batch (you may have to cook the shrimp in two "batches" as you only want one layer of shrimp in the pan at a time in order to cook and slightly brown them).
After removing tomato mixture from oven, pour mixture into blender and add the reserved tomato liquid and chipotle peppers -puree.
Pour puree over rice and shrimp.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime juice, if desired.

I grew up surrounded by many varieties of food - lots of good food, and some experiments. My family and friends are all people that love and appreciate good food. I enjoy the process of cooking and at this point I'm still using recipes to cook most new things I try but aim to be able to invent tasty things on my own. I also appreciate uncomplicated, fairly quick recipes. My favorite flavors are those with a Latin flair - fresh and spicy! I think cooking is a great way to socialize with friends and family. Besides cooking, I love to travel, go Latin dancing, photography, take advantage of Minneapolis in the summer, and go to coffee shops. Other than that, I just finished graduate school and look forward to having much more time to cook!
