Ingredients
Shrimp:
- 1.5 lbs of Shrimp
- ¼ cup of Chipotle Puree
- 1 tsp of Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp of Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp of Black Pepper
- 2 medium Limes juiced
- 1 tbsp of Canola Oil
Toppings:
- Mexican Crema or sour cream & lime juice mixed

Instructions
- In a bowl, add your shrimp, chipotle puree, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice and oil.
- Mix thoroughly, then place in the fridge for 15 minutes to quickly marinate.
- As the shrimp is marinating, preheat a high heat fire (around 400F) for direct cooking. Add a cast iron skillet/plancha over the fire about 2 minutes before cooking with 2 tbsp of oil.
- Pull the shrimp out of the fridge and let them come to room temp (about 5 minutes).
- Discard the excess marinade and place the shrimp on the skillet. Cook for about 1.5-2 minutes per side or until they are no longer translucent but opaque white.
- When the shrimp are done, pull them off and place them directly onto the serving place for garnishing.
- Drizzle some Mexican Crema over top of the shrimp and garnish with cotija, cilantro, lime wedges and a dusting of Smoked Chipotle Mezcal or Chile con Limon. Serve and enjoy!
