Recipe of the Day - La Roca Restaurant Cabo San Lucas


La Roca Restaurant Cabo San Lucas

Al pastor Shrimp

- Recipe -


Ingredients

Recipe
Jumbo Shrimp
5 Pieces
Pineapple Puree
100 Grs.
Al Pastor Sauce (Marinade)
50 Ml
Fried Corn Tortilla strips
30. Grs.
Salt
2 Grs.
Black Pepper
1 Grs.
Olive Oil
2 Ml


La Roca Restaurant Cabos San Lucas


MARINADE:
1 whole guajillo chile pepper — dried
1 clove garlic — unpeeled
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup onion — chopped
2 small tomatoes — quartered
2 tablespoons achiote paste

PINEAPPLE PUREE:
2 1/2 cups fresh pineapple — diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
CILANTRO SAUCE:
1 bunch cilantro — about 1 1/2 cups once stems are cut off
1/4 cup onion — diced
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Gently open the dried guajillo chiles and remove the seeds and the stem. In a large nonstick frying pan (large enough to use for cooking the shrimp), toast the guajillo chile with the clove of garlic over medium heat until the garlic clove has begun to blacken in spots. Turn chile pieces and garlic over to prevent burning. This will take about 5 minutes or so.

2. Allow garlic to cool, then remove papery skin and stem. Cut up the chile in bite-sized pieces and add to blender container, with the garlic, orange juice, onion, tomato and achiote paste. Puree until the sauce is almost smooth. Season with salt to taste.


3. Place shrimp in a small flat plate or container (one layer thick) and pour some of the sauce over. Turn shrimp so it’s coated well. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours. When you remove the shrimp from the marinade, discard that part of the marinade as it’s been in contact with raw fish.
4. CILANTRO SAUCE: Make this within a hour before serving as the cilantro will turn dark. Combine in a blender or food processor the cilantro, onion, water and oil. Blend, scraping down the sides, until it’s turned to a smooth sauce. Set aside.


5. SHRIMP: Melt butter in frying pan (the pan used in step 1). Remove shrimp from marinade, leaving any residual sauce on the shrimp and add to the pan. Cook over medium heat, turning once or twice, until shrimp is cooked through, 3-4 minutes (depends on the size of the shrimp). Add a little bit of the marinade if the pan begins to run dry, drizzling it on the shrimp itself.

New Year, New You:





New Year, New You:
Award-Winning Solmar Spa Collection Helps Travelers Rejuvenate
With a Post-Holiday Detox

Los Cabos, Mexico (January 22, 2015) - Solmar Hotels & Resorts, a five-property resort group located at the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula, is ready to help travelers kick off the New Year refreshed and rejuvenated with its impressive Spa Collection and plethora of treatments, services and wellness offerings.

The Solmar Spa collection offers travelers three amazing spa options - Playa Grande Spa, Grand Solmar Sea Spa and Solmar Spa Cabanas. For spa goers who are seeking to detox and recharge following one-too-many holiday indulgences, the resort group recommends the following:

* Temazcal Ceremony & Pre-Hispanic Bath - The Temazcal Ceremony is the perfect experience for a group interested in surrounding themselves with the healing powers of the four elements - fire, earth, water and air. The 2-hour steam lodge treatment provides a balance of mind and body and brings about a spiritual awakening. It is an excellent way to heal emotions, release fears, let go of stress and reconnect with the people closest to you. For those who might be interested in this activity but on a smaller scale, the Pre-Hispanic Bath treatment is an abbreviated 30 minutes version.

* Aromatherapy & Reflexology - Those seeking a more traditional spa experience to provide a sense of rejuvenation two great holistic options include the Pindasweda Herbal Massage which uses aromatherapy to awaken the senses and the Reflexology foot massage. The 80-minute herbal aromatic massage, Pindasweda, uses steamed herbs from a special healing garden applied in a kneading action to heal muscle tension and stiffness, while the body absorbs the heat and herbs to reduce aches and pains and increase the lymphatic drainage and condition of the skin. The reflexology foot massage, 30 minutes, energizes the body by using a massage technique that uses pressure points corresponding to specific body parts and improves circulation and releases blocked energy throughout the entire body.

* Couples Retreat - Couples looking for amorous start to 2015 or a special Valentine's Day treat, the 50 or 80 minute Romantic Wellness for Two allows couples to transform their suite into a spa sanctuary while enjoying a couples massage followed by a romantic bath while sipping champagne and indulging in chocolate covered strawberries. Additionally, the one-to-one massage class is a nice treatment for couples to enjoy that not only provides them with a great massage but the skills to continue massaging one another long after their visit to Solmar, providing relaxation for years to come.

These are just a sampling of the many offerings available through the Solmar Spa Collection. Travelers are encouraged to peruse menus of spa treatments and services via the Solmar Spa Collection Online concierge  http://solmarspacollection.com/store.
