Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 oz Goat cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chipotle peppers, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the goat cheese cream. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened goat cheese and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped chives and set aside.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to avoid burning).
Cook the shrimp on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the chipotle barbecued shrimp warm with a dollop of goat cheese cream on the side or drizzled on top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
