Grilled Shrimp with Tamarind Recado
This starter was inspired by the tamarind flavored dishes of Alicia De Angeli, a food writer and consultant in Mexico City, and Mark Miller of Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe.
1 1/2 lb. large shrimp (about 33), shelled, deveined
1 1/2 cups tamarind recado
Accompaniment: charred habanero salsa 

Prepare grill.
In a bowl toss shrimp with recado and marinate until grill is ready, about 30 minutes. Grill shrimp on a well oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them occasionally, until crusty, opaque, and charred, about 4 minutes. Serve shrimp with salsa. 

Serves 4 as a starter.
