Chipotle-Lime Shrimp Scampi image

The butter mixture here actually came from a recipe for a spread for grilled corn on the cob! We had a lot left over, so we started thinking of other ways to use it. My husband suggested shrimp, and that was a BIG winner! Try serving it with crusty sourdough bread to soak up the extra sauce.
