Ingredients

1 3/4 lb raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 bottle (12 oz) beer

3 large cloves garlic, peeled and smashed with side of knife

1/4 tsp salt

3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeded and minced, plus 1 Tbsp adobo sauce

Preparation

1. Place shrimp in large, deep skillet in a single layer; add beer, garlic and salt. Turn heat to medium. Slowly poach shrimp 10 minutes, turning shrimp after 5 minutes, until just cooked through (beer will just be approaching a simmer at this point). Remove shrimp with slotted spoon to bowl and cool. Bring beer and garlic to a boil; boil 8 minutes, or until reduced to 3 Tbsp, skimming surface once or twice. Strain into a bowl. Add garlic and mash; cool.

2. Add chiles, adobo sauce, mayonnaise, chili sauce, red onion, orange zest and juice, and chopped cilantro to beer mixture; whisk dressing until blended.

3. Cut shrimp into 2 or 3 pieces each and add to dressing; toss to coat.

4. To serve, top tortilla chips with shredded lettuce and shrimp mixture. Garnish with diced avocado and a cilantro leaf.

Plan Ahead: You can make through Step 3 up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate.
