Spicy Shrimp and Mushroom Casserole

One of the benefits of my gym is watching the cooking show Mexican Made Easy. Its a little counter productive to work out and think about food the whole time, but there aren't a lot of channels on the eliptical tv. Its the food network, Oxygen, or MTV2, so its pretty obvious what the best choice is.

And when you are working out, almost everything looks good to eat. This is the first recipe of Marcela Valladolid's that I tried and it was fabulous!! Bry loved it. He's kind of the Chef Ramsay of our house, so if he thinks it's good, it probably is.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cups (about 8 ounces) white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 poblano chiles, charred, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 2-inch by 1/4-inch strips
• 1 cup fresh, or frozen and thawed, corn kernels
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Shrimp:

• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound large shrimp, deveined, tails intact
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup vegetable stock
• 
  
• Directions
• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the juices have evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add the poblano strips, corn and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
• For the shrimp: Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour. In a medium skillet, melt the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the mushroom mixture. Add the wine and vegetable stock to the skillet and increase the heat to high, scraping up the brown bits that stick to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir until thickened.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp and mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

We've also tried the Sauteed Potatoes with Chorizo which was easy and tasty. You should check out her site. Or work out to her in the mornings.
