Shrimp With Red Chile And Piñon Nuts

  1. Start by toasting your pinon nuts in a large dry pan over high heat. Keep the pan moving continuously, being sure not to let pinon nuts burn; holding pan several inches over heat and using a heavy bottomed pan to disperse heat will assist in this process. Work pan over heat, moving pinon nuts continuously for about 4 minutes or until nuts begin to turn a golden color.
  2. While keeping pan moving over heat add your minced garlic and shake pan vigorously to mix garlic and pinon nuts. pinon nuts contain a lot of oil, so adding oil at this point is unnecessary. Continue to work pan until garlic is sauteed and pine nuts have a reddish gold color, take care not to let nuts burn keeping pan off of direct heat by an inch or two.
  3. Add about 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss in to nuts and garlic well. Saute nuts and garlic an additional 45 seconds, allowing oil to warm.
  4. Add shrimp when olive oil has warmed to cooking temperature.
  5. Toss shrimp continuously to keep nuts and shrimp moving in pan.
  6. When shrimp are cooked through lower heat to medium low and add additional 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir in oil mixing well with pinon nuts and coating shrimp well
  7. Add chile powder in 3 steps dusting top of nuts and shrimp and mixing in, and repeating until powder has mixed well with shrimp and pinon nuts.
  8. Add honey, and cream and stir in to shrimp, nuts and olive oil. The chile powder should begin to clump and coat over shrimp
