::Smoked Paprika Shrimp & Lime Dip::


I COULD PROBABLY EAT SEVERAL POUNDS WORTH OF THESE BABIES. EVEN THE SHALLOTS LEFT ON THE EMPTY PLATTER MUST BE SCOOPED UP AND CONSUMED.

Lime Dip
¼ cup (50 mL) sour cream
2 tbsp (25 mL) mayonnaise
1 tsp (5 mL) grated lime rind
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice
Chopped fresh coriander or Italian parsley, optional

Shrimp
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
1 large shallot, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) smoked paprika
2/3 cup (150 mL) dry white wine
1 lb (500 g) jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh coriander or Italian parsley

Preparation:
1. To make lime dip, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime rind and juice in bowl. Set aside.
2. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and sauté shallots and paprika for 2 minutes or until turning golden. Add wine and bring to boil. Boil for about 2 minutes or until reduced by half. Add shrimp and coriander and cook, stirring constantly for about 4 minutes or until shrimp is pink and firm.
3. Serve shrimp with dip. Sprinkle with coriander if desired.
Serves 8
