Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the raw shrimp. If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation if desired.
In a small blender or food processor, add the chipotle peppers, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth glaze.
Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour about half of the chipotle glaze over them. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
Once the shrimp are cooked, brush them with the reserved chipotle glaze and cook for an additional 30 seconds to caramelize the glaze slightly.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy the Chipotle Glazed Shrimp as a standalone dish, over rice, in tacos, or as part of your favorite salad!
