Steal This Recipe: Marfa's Spicy "Shells On" BBQ Shrimp
Marfa is located in the East Village and is inspired by a West Texas artists' community. In keeping with the feeling of Lone Star State, noted chef Harun Shah offers patrons a selection of Texas-inspired Tapas, all of which you can eat with your fingers.
The menu of 'Small Bites' ranges from traditional dry rub barbecued baby back ribs that drip with Marfa's special barbecue sauce to mini corndogs (a daintier and more adult-like version of the kid-friendly classic). Heartier appetites and bigger budgets can opt for 'Big Bend Bites', larger entrees such as soul warming chicken pot pie (also available in a vegetarian version) or a warm bowl of Texas beef or vegetarian chili. There's also a selection of Southern-fried specialties: fried chicken, chicken fried steak, or fried catfish and a list of sumptuous sides, such as sweet and savory baked beans, crunchy cabbage slaw, mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach and paprika-punched mac and cheese.
Marfa's Spicy "Shells On" BBQ Shrimp is served at Marfa's as an appetizer for $9. This recipe makes 4 appetizer servings.

About the Chef:
Harun Shah hails from Bangladesh and he always finds a way to slip a
few Indonesian spices into his dishes. Harun recently took over the
helm at Marfa, having worked at Raga and Death & Company, both in
NYC - his food is a big hit with the patrons and his Crème Brulee with
Jalapeño and Lemongrass always catches their attention!
Hip, urbane, but decidedly West Texas, the vast, rustic loft-like space hosts rotating art exhibits, inaugurated with paintings by Marfa stalwart, Boyd Elder, designer of Eagles album covers (the original artwork for one hangs on the wall at Marfa).
But perhaps the most artful feature is the cocktail list - when you stop by try the house Marfarita with grapefruit and Serrano chili infused tequila for an extra special kick and a perfect balance of flavors, or the transporting Lavender Daisy with lavender infused tequila, honey, fresh lime and peach bitters.
