1
If using wooden skewers, soak in cold water while shrimp marinates.
2
To marinate the shrimp: Put the cilanto, garlic and chipotle with sauce in to a glass or plastic bowl.
3
Stir in the olive oil and lime juice.
4
Season with salt and pepper.
5
Add the shrimp and toss to coat with marinade.

Set aside.

12
The original recipe called for threading one shrimp on each skewer.
13
This makes a nice presentation but takes a little longer to prepare!
14
I Thread several shrimp, about 4 or 5 depending on the size of the shrimp, on each skewer.
15
Place on an oiled grill that has been preheated to medium high.
16
Cook for about 2 minutes per side.
17
They will turn pink when done.
18
DO NOT OVERCOOK!
19
I have also done these on my George Foreman Grill without using the skewers.
20
(actually, this is how I do it most of the time!) Just throw the shrimp on and cook a couple of minutes.
21
Place bowl of sauce in the center of a round platter and arrange shrimp around the sauce.
22
Sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
23
Enjoy!
