Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
5 garlic cloves, smashed
2 teaspoons chipotle hot sauce, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup Mexican-style lager, such as Corona
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 lime, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups cooked white rice

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium heat. Lay out a piece of heavy-duty foil 12 inches by 18 inches. Fold the four sides up to create walls and spread the shrimp in the center of the foil. Toss the shrimp with the garlic, chipotle sauce, cumin, oregano, coriander and salt. Pour in the beer. Dot the butter pieces on top. Cover with another large piece of foil and crimp and fold the edges together to seal tightly.
Transfer the foil pack to the grill, close the lid and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for a few minutes. Carefully tear the packet open, being careful not to let the escaping steam burn you. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve the shrimp with the rice and pass extra chipotle hot sauce on the side.

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp. Large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) are best for this recipe. They're large enough to hold their own on the grill and won't overcook too quickly.
Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best, but any good quality olive oil will do.
Don't overcrowd the foil packets. If you overcrowd the packets, the shrimp won't cook evenly.
Be careful when grilling the packets. The packets can burst if they get too hot, so keep a close eye on them.
Let the packets rest before serving. This will allow the shrimp to finish cooking and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Grilled foil packet chipotle shrimp is an easy and delicious meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful marinade of chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, and spices. The foil packets keep the shrimp moist and tender, and the chipotle peppers add a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. Serve the shrimp with rice, beans, or your favorite side dish.
