Chipotle Grilled Shrimp
- 1 1/2 pounds (about 4042) large shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 small can chipotle chiles in adobo, stemmed and wiped clean
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Place shrimp in large bowl.
- Place chiles in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade and puree.
- With the motor running, drizzle in oil until creamy emulsion is formed.
- Pour over shrimp in bowl and mix thoroughly to coat shrimp.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for 12 hours.
- Soak 12 bamboo skewers in water 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill to moderately high.
- Lay 6 to 7 shrimp on board in front of you, nestled together and flat, with tails all facing one direction and heads the other.
- Holding shrimp flat with the palm of one hand, insert one bamboo skewer one third of the way from one end.
- Insert another skewer parallel to the first, one third of the way from the other end, so as to create a flat panel of shrimp that can be turned easily.
- Repeat with remaining shrimp and skewers to form 6 skewers in all.
- Season each side of shrimp with pepper (the marinade is already salted).
- Brush grill well and wipe with oiled paper towel.
- Place shrimp skewers and grill 12 minutes per side until done.
- The center shrimp should be just opaque.
- Remove from grill and serve.
