Les Gourmettes Goat Cheese Shrimp-Stuffed Poblanos
Ingredients:
- 8 poblano chiles
- 4 oz mild goat cheese
- 1/2 cup panela or Monterey jack cheese, grated
- 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled, deveined and cooked

Preparation:
Roast poblano chilies either over a direct flame or under a broiler until charred. Allow chilies to steam in a plastic or paper bag, then remove the charred skin. Leaving the stems intact, make a slit in the sides of the chiles and remove the seeds.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cheeses with shrimp, shallots, bell peppers, cilantro and basil. Taking care not to tear the chilies, carefully stuff them with the cheese mixture. Transfer the chilies to a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
Serve with red bell pepper sauce.
