Randy's Spanish Rub Recipe
Prepare Salmon for grilling
On a plate or in a pan place salmon filet, sprinkle with Spanish rub and coat with two tablespoons olive oil.
Grill the fish until done. I really like to cook my fish medium or in some cases medium rate. But the fish must be pristinely fresh.
Place the langostinos, shrimp or cooked rock shrimp on top of the fish on the plate. Top with the chipotle mojo de ajo sauce.
Chipotle Mojo de Ajo Sauce
4 cloves garlic smashed and sliced
½ to 1 whole Chipotle in Adobe finely chopped, depending on your heat preference.
3 Key limes juiced
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons canola or olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
Melt butter over medium heat add remaining oil. When the butter is hot, add the garlic. Watch the garlic stirring occasionally. When the edges begin to turn golden brown, add the chipotle, lime juice (to taste) and salt. Add the chopped cilantro.
Hope you enjoy :)
