Chipotle Grilled Shrimp
A quick and easy summertime dinner, full of flavor and with endless pairings!
Ingredients
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 3/4 - 1 /4 - 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, raw
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, puree peppers, sauce, garlic, honey, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Adjust salt to taste. Pour the mixture over raw shrimp and stir to coat evenly. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to one hour).
- Remove shrimp from marinade, let any excess drip off. If using an outdoor grill, I recommend placing them on a bamboo or metal skewer.
- Place the skewer onto a clean grill rack or a heated grill pan over medium heat. Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes until pink and translucent. Be careful not to overcook!
Notes
- Serve with rice, mango or pineapple salsa, or a salad!
- The chipotle peppers and adobe sauce are in the same can; you will use the pepper and the sauce.
