Cherry Peppers Lauren and Michelle had a really good time with me at Peppers on Saturday! We sampled out Peanut Flour Chicken and FIREPOWER Shrimp. I’ve done many tastings and food shows, and Peppers’ customers were some of the most pleasant people. Everyone in the store was great. We really had a fantastic time and will be back again in August with some new tasty treats.

All the best,

PEANUT FLOUR CHICKEN

2 LBS BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST
1 CUP PEANUTS
¼ CUP FLOUR
½ TSP. SALT
½ TSP. PEPPER
¼ cup oil (canola, or peanut)
1 tbsp. butter
DRAGONFIRE HOT SAUCE (TO TASTE)

In the food processor, pulse the peanuts, salt, pepper and the flour until the peanuts are ground to a powder. BE CAREFUL! IT IS VERY EASY TO TURN THE NUTS INTO PEANUT BUTTER!!! Slice the chicken breasts into about one ounce strips. Heat a large skillet. When hot, add the oil and butter. Coat the chicken strips in the peanut flour and place in the hot skillet. DO NOT CROWD THE PAN. After 1.5 to 2 minutes the first side should be crispy and golden brown. Turn and cook other side about 2 more minutes. Remove from pan, apply liberal amounts of DRAGONFIRE and enjoy!

FIREPOWER SHRIMP

2 LBS PEALED, DEVEINED SHRIMP
½ CUP MAYONAISE
2 TBSP. DIJON MUSTARD
½ GRANULATED GARLIC
¼ TSP. WHITE PEPPER
2 TBSP. GRATED PAMEGIANNO REGGIANO
2 TBSP. CHOPPED FRESH HERBS
(chives or parsley or oregano)
2 CUPS PENKO BREADCRUMBS
¼ cup oil (canola, or peanut)
1 tbsp. butter
FIREPOWER HOT SAUCE
(TO TASTE)

Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, pepper, cheese, and herbs. Evenly coat all the shrimp. Toss the shrimp a few at a time in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Heat skillet until very hot. Add oil and butter. Cook shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on size. Add FIREPOWER to taste and you won’t be able to stop eating these!

As a healthier alternative, these shrimp can be oven-fried. Instead of using the skillet, oil and butter, pre-heat the oven to 475 degrees F. Place the breaded shrimp on a sheet pan, allowing at least ½ inch between each shrimp. Bake for approximately six minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. Once again, the recipe won’t be finished until you have made liberal use of FIREPOWER sauce.
