Grilled Chipotle Shrimp image

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

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.
