Directions

Preheat the broiler.
Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan and add the garlic halves. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the shrimp and langostinos and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat.
When cool enough to handle, chop the shrimp and langostinos.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, langostinos, goat cheese and the rest of the filling ingredients.
Mix well, stuff the peppers and place on a slightly greased cookie sheet. Place the peppers under the broiler and cook until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium size sauce pan. Add the shallot, onion, salt and pepper.
Cook on high heat until onions begin to brown, stirring often.
Next add the garlic, red bell peppers, chicken broth, chipotle and the cream.
Heat through and reduce slightly, about 10 minutes.
While the sauce is heating, in a small sauce pan, melt the butter.
Once melted, add the flour. Stir constantly and cook until you achieve a light brown color.
Strain the sauce into another pan and, over medium heat, add the flour mixture. Stir to combine and thicken.
Remove the sauce from the heat, add the sugar and mix well. To serve, pour some sauce on a plate and top it with 2 stuffed peppers.

Recipe Note

I like to place the pepper tops back on for presentation.
