ingredients
- 1 lb raw peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp (or thawed frozen jumbo shrimp)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tsp for the grill
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Creamy Chipotle Sauce
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder (1/2 teaspoon for less spicy)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced (1/2 teaspoon for less spicy)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon adobo sauce
directions
- Put the shrimp in a colander and rinse under cold water. Shake off any excess water and pour into a large shallow pan.
- Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl with a wire whisk until combined. Pour the mixture over the shrimp and toss so they are fully coated. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- For the Creamy Chipotle Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream with chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, salt, pepper, minced chipotle chili and adobo sauce. Mix until fully combined, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
- Start your outdoor grill or heat a grill pan on high and coat with a thin layer of olive oil. Using a pair of tongs, put all of the shrimp onto the hot grill. (If you are using an outdoor grill, you may want to skewer the shrimp together). Cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink in color.
- Serve the shrimp hot with a drizzle of the Creamy Chipotle Sauce. Or, chill the shrimp and use the sauce as a dip.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
