Cilantro Lime Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 lb large raw shrimp, deveined, shells removed
  • 2-3 whole chipotle peppers in adobe sauce (with seeds), from a 7-ounce can
  • 2 tbsp adobe sauce (from the can of chipotle peppers)
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp virgin olive oil
  • 3 + 1/2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
  • 1 tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 + 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice the chipotle peppers and add them to a small bowl. Measure out the adobe sauce and olive oil and add those to the bowl as well. Squeeze the lime juice and press the garlic. Add those ingredients to the bowl along with the chopped cilantro, brown sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
  2. Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp into a zip-top kitchen bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp. Zip the bag and gently massage it to distribute the spicy marinade. Every piece of shrimp should be fully coated with the marinade. Refrigerate the shrimp for 20-30 minutes so it can marinate.
  3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  4. Skewer the shrimp. If you desire juicy shrimp, skewer the shrimp so that the pieces are touching. If you prefer charred or slightly crispy shrimp, leave some space between the pieces.
  5. Heat your grill over medium or medium-high heat. Brush a bit of oil over the surface of the grill to prevent sticking. Lay the shrimp skewers over the grill. Cook for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes and then flip them over. Cook another 2 to 2-1/2 minutes then remove them from the grill. Check for doneness by slicing a piece through the thickest section. When fully cooked, the inside should be solid white. Take care to not overcook your shrimp or they will develop a rubbery texture.
  6. Garnish with more chopped cilantro. Serve with creamy avocado dipping sauce and wedges of lime.

Notes

Home Chef Tip: If you'd like to make the avocado dipping sauce, which is recommended, you can find that recipe here. The flavors of the shrimp pair perfectly with Sutter Home White Zinfandel.
