Three Chile Shrimp & Mahi on Sofrito Rice



A little somethin somethin I was working on. It was crazy good. The shrimp and mahi had a simple rub. 1 part ancho chili powder, 1 part chipotle powder, and 1 part chile negro powder. Added to that was a little garlic powder, salt, butter, lime juice, and parsley.

The sofrito rice, is just brown rice, sofrito (onion, green peppers (in this case jalapenos), tomatoes (fresh 2 romas), and garlic. With a new mexican spice mix.

It was topped with a ranchero salsa, and cilantro. Ranchero salsa is one large reconstituted ancho chile pepper, 1 roma tomato, a slice of onion, one garlic clove, one jalapeno (chopped), a bunch of cilantro, 1tsp of vinegar, 1tsp lime juice, salt, pepper.

The shrimp and mahi were cooked in a mixture of butter and olive oil. The oil is added to temper the butter (so it won't burn), so I can cook it on a higher heat.



Some good eats.
