Ingredients
For the MASA:

- 2 chopped garlic cloves
- 2 cups chicken stock

- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1 small chopped onion
- ¼ cup lard or shortening
Sauce #1

Sauce#2
- 2 finely chopped jalapenos

Directions
Sauté the garlic and onion until translucent, now add the chicken stock, cumin, smoked paprika to it. Now stir in the lard and masa and cook until it’s a peanut butter consistency. Now set it aside and let it cool a bit or refrigerate until ready to use. Take one corn husk and cut it into strips, you will use this to tie together the masa in the corn husk for steaming. Now take the corn husk and put a couple or heaping tablespoons of the masa and tie it closed. Steam it for five minutes, while you’re doing this grill or fry 3 shrimp per tamale. I dusted mine with paprika and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Now to assemble open up the corn husk with the freshly steamed masa, arrange the shrimp on top, spoons some of the hot chipotle cream over, now drizzle some of the honey jalapeno around it and finish with some fresh chopped cilantro. These are amazing little babies of food love I tell ya!…now where is that Petron
