Today is Cinco de Mayo and this was our dinner. The recipe is from Taste of Home and I want to give full credit to the creator, Mandy Rivers, of Lexington SC. This is fabulous and I wouldn't change a thing. The marinade gives the shrimp heat and the wonderful cilantro cream sauce cools them down.

1/4 c brown sugar, packed
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped plus 1/4 cup of adobo sauce
6 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Allow this to cool completely.
  • 2. When cool, place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

  • 4. Thread the shrimp on metal or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp are fully cooked. Serve with Cilantro Cream Sauce on the side. We wrapped some of the shrimp, topped with the sauce, in a warm flour tortilla. Delicious!

I love this recipe! The shrimp are always cooked perfectly and the chipotle sauce is amazing. I've even used the sauce on other dishes, like chicken and fish.

This recipe was easy to follow and the shrimp turned out great. The chipotle sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I would definitely make this again with a milder sauce.
