Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Cocktail
- 2 lbs raw large shrimp or 2 lbs raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- For the Marinade
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced chipotle chile in adobo, plus
- 2 teaspoons of the adobo sauce, from the can
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- salt and pepper
- For the sauce
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup orange juice, fresh preferred
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo, minced plus
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, from the can
- salt and pepper
- skewer, for grilling
- If using wooden skewers, soak in cold water while shrimp marinates.
- To marinate the shrimp: Put the cilanto, garlic and chipotle with sauce in to a glass or plastic bowl.
- Stir in the olive oil and lime juice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the shrimp and toss to coat with marinade.
- Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- For the sauce: Whisk together in a glass bowl the ketchup, orange juice, lime juice, worcestershire sauce and chipotles with sauce.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Set aside.
- To cook shrimp: Remove shrimp from marinade.
- Discard marinade.
- The original recipe called for threading one shrimp on each skewer.
- This makes a nice presentation but takes a little longer to prepare!
- I Thread several shrimp, about 4 or 5 depending on the size of the shrimp, on each skewer.
- Place on an oiled grill that has been preheated to medium high.
- Cook for about 2 minutes per side.
- They will turn pink when done.
- DO NOT OVERCOOK!
- I have also done these on my George Foreman Grill without using the skewers.
- (actually, this is how I do it most of the time!) Just throw the shrimp on and cook a couple of minutes.
- Place bowl of sauce in the center of a round platter and arrange shrimp around the sauce.
- Sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy!
