For the Love of Spice

Hey Spicy Food-Lover!  Yes, I am talking to you!  Have you tried these?

Chipolte Peppers in Adobe Sauce!  I remember it wasn’t very long ago that I began using hot sauce and now I am cooking with these crazy hot things!  If you want to kick up the spice in your cooking, buy a can of these!  My tongue is tingling and my lips are still numb! These peppers and its' sauce make this meal! 

Tonight I made Chipolte-Orange Shrimp!  This is a very low calorie and low fat meal.  This is only 240 calories per 1 ¼ cup!  If you like spicy food give it a try!

I started by sautéing 1lb. uncooked shrimp in ¼ cup of Italian dressing for 3 minutes.

Then I added ¼ cup orange marmalade and 2tbsp. chopped chipotles(use less if you are not a spicy fan or use chipotle powder). Simmer for 3 minutes. Then add cilantro.

Serve over rice!

I couldn’t eat this meal fast enough!  The Italian dressing created a savory base while the chipoltes added a nice spice and the marmalade gave it a hint of sweetness!  We will be eating this again soon! It was husband approved!
