Instructions
 

  • =====Chipotle Butter=====
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter -- room temperature
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce -- minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • =====Shrimp and Greens=====
  • 1 1/2 pounds raw shrimp -- peeled and deveined
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces arugula
  • 1 small head radicchio or escarole -- coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • To make the chipotle butter, stir the unsalted butter, pepper, honey, and salt together in a small bowl.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the chipotle butter. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and cook another 2 minutes, until cooked through and opaque. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
  • Using the same skillet, melt the remaining chipotle butter. Add the arugula, radicchio, and herbs. Cook, tossing with tongs, until the greens wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve out of the skillet, return the shrimp to the pan, and arrange on top of the greens. Alternatively, place the greens on top of polenta or rice on a serving dish. Arrange the shrimp on top.
