Cooking Directions

  • Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium-high.  Grill the poblano chiles until blackened on all sides.  Remove the chiles from the grill to a paper bag.  Close the bag and set aside.
  • Beat the oil, lime juice, chipotle pepper, maple syrup and cumin in a small bowl with a fork.  Thread the shrimp onto skewers.  Brush the shrimp with the oil mixture.
  • Reduce the heat to medium.  Grill the shrimp for 4 minutes or until cooked through, turning and brushing often with the oil mixture.  Remove the shrimp from the grill.
  • Brush the corn with the oil mixture.  Grill the corn for 5 minutes, turning and brushing often with the oil mixture.  Remove the corn from grill and let cool.  Cut the corn kernels from the cobs.  Discard the cobs.
  • Stir the shrimp, corn, goat cheese, Monterey Jack cheese and picante sauce in a large bowl.  Remove the poblano chiles from the bag and scrape off the skin.  Cut a lengthwise slit in the side of each chile and remove and discard the seeds.  Spoon the shrimp mixture into the chiles.
  • Spread the enchilada sauce in a 3-quart shallow metal baking pan.  Place the stuffed chiles into the pan.  Cover the pan with foil.
  • Grill until the filling is hot.  Sprinkle with the pine nuts before serving.
