Directions: |
Directions:To peel poblano chiles: Roast under the broiler until the skin is blackened. Allow to cool completely in a closed Zip-lock freezer bag. When peppers are cooled, slide off the blistered skin, cut open and discard seeds. (For ease of assembly and a milder appetizer, roasted sweet red peppers from ajar may be substituted for the poblano chiles).
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in microwave oven for about 3 minutes, until partially cooked and still soft. Cut each strip of bacon in half, making about 30 (4-inch Pieces). Cut peppers into strips about the same length as the bacon pieces.
Toss raw shrimp with 3T. of Southwestern spice mix and coat the shrimp lightly. Place a chile strip on top of the bacon strip and wrap together around each shrimp, holding in place with a skewer. Place the completed shrimp skewers on a large sheet pan. (These can be assembled ahead and cooked before serving).
Cook skewered shrimp 7 to 10 minutes or grill for five minutes. Serve warm. Garnish with jicama and orange slices. |
