Shrimp with Cilantro Mojo on Tortilla Crisps

Ingredients:

1 lb. Large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 six inch corn tortillas, cut into 6 triangles if desired

1 tsp. salt

1/3 c. Orange juice

1/4 c. Fresh lime juice

1/4 c. Chicken broth

3 minced garlic cloves

4 tsp. Olive oil

1 tsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Dried oregano

1/4 c. Chopped fresh cilantro

Nonstick cooking spray

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange tortilla triangles on a jelly roll pan or cookie beet in a single layer. Lightly coat tortillas with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. of the salt.

To make the mojo: combine orange juice, lime juice, chicken broth, garlic, 3 tsp. of the olive oil, sugar, and the oregano in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro, and cool 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mojo and set aside. Pour the remainder of the mojo into a medium bowl and add the shrimp, tossing well to coat. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15 minutes.

Drain the shrimp and discard the marinade. Season the shrimp with remaining sea salt. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in remaining 1 tsp. olive oil, then add shrimp. Cook until opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat. Arrange each shrimp on a tortilla crisp (or a few on a whole tortilla) and drizzle with the reserved mojo sauce.

**serve with avocado, lime wedges and a choice of whole grain (brown rice, quinoa, farrow), if desired
