How to Make Grilled Chipotle Shrimp
- In a small saucepan, combine the first seven
ingredients. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Allow this to cool completely. - When cool, place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- While the shrimp are marinating, combine the ingredients for the sauce. Chill until serving.
- Thread the shrimp on metal or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp are fully cooked. Serve with Cilantro Cream Sauce on the side. We wrapped some of the shrimp, topped with the sauce, in a warm flour tortilla. Delicious!
