This may be the best shrimp I’ve ever had on the grill. It was only an accident this recipe occurred because I had leftover Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce that I didn’t want to throw out. I love spicy food so if you are not one to like spicy food then either use less Chipotle peppers or simply pass on this recipe. But this Grilled Shrimp with Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, Cumin and Lime Marinade makes a great appetizer.
