Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the tiger shrimp. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the shrimp in the seasoning mixture, making sure they're evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the chipotle lime dip: In a blender or food processor, combine chipotle peppers in adobo, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, and cilantro. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot with the chilled chipotle lime dip and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
