SPICY CHIPOTLE GRILLED SHRIMP
“Marinated shrimp, grilled on skewers, have the fiery flavors of chipotle chilies, garlic, red pepper flakes. This is for those who like their grilled shrimp spicy enough to break a sweat.”



3 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. cracked black pepper

½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
2 lbs. uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
wooden or metal skewers


Mix together the garlic chipotle peppers, lemon juice, olive oil paprika, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Stir in the shrimp, and mix well to thoroughly coat. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and discard excess marinade. Shred about 5 shrimp per skewer, and grill on the preheated grill until the shrimp turns pink and opaque in the center, about 2 minutes per side.

Yield: 6 servings.
