• Chili
• 3/4 lb dried great northern beans
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 fresh green anaheim chilies, stemmed, coarsely chopped, with seeds
• 2 fresh red serrano chilies, stemmed, seeded & coarsely chopped
• 1 fresh jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded & coarsely chopped
• 2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 -2 tomatillo, coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• Blackened Shrimp
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon medium hot pure chile powder
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

1. In a large saucepan cover beans with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil briskly 5 minutes then remove from heat and let soak 1 hour.
2. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Set beans aside.
3. In saucepan, heat 4 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
4. Add chiles, garlic and onion and saute until onion is transparent 5-6 minutes.
5. Add drained beans, broth, tomatillos, oregano, basil, thyme, bay leaf, salt & pepper, bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat and simmer, covered until beans are tender about 1 1/2 hours adding a little water if necessary to keep beans barely covered.
7. About 1/2 hour before beans are done, stir together 1/2 of butter with chili powder and paprika.
8. Rub butter mixture evenly over shrimp.
9. When beans are done, heat remaining oil & butter over medium high heat (I actually heat this in a cast iron skillet on my outdoor grill).
10. When mixture just begins to smoke, add shrimp & saute until done & slightly blackened 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
11. Discard bay leaf from chili and serve in bowls with shrimp and any remaining fresh herbs as a garnish.
