Shrimp with Jalapenos and Mustard Glaze

Created by Steve,

Description

Shrimp, jalapenos and mustard combine to make an incredible quick meal that fits into a man's low fat diet plan.

Ingredients

At a glance
Makes
2 - 4 servings

1 lbs shrimp peeled
2-4 cloves of garlic sliced medium thin
1-4 jalapenos sliced into 3/8" rounds
1 tbs brown mustard (I've used Guldens and Dijon)
3 tbs dry sherry, white wine, chicken broth or maybe even water
1 tbs apricot preserves or other all fruit type jelly or preserves
pinch of salt to taste

Methods/steps

Add garlic and jalapenos to a large pan.  Preferably a 12" nonstick along with 2 tbs of the sherry or other liquid.  Cook over medium heat until you can smell the garlic and peppers and the liquid is almost gone.

Add the shrimp and the rest of the liquid.  Cook until the liquid is gone then turn the shrimp.   Immediately stir in the mustard and the apricot preserves.  Coat the shrimp well and cook until the mixture thickens and shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes.

Additional Tips

I made a half portion of this dish when the wife was away and I love it.  4 jalapenos are my style but you may prefer less.
