- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 2 teaspoons ground chipotle chile
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled but tails left intact, and deveined
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Remove the leaves from half the length of each rosemary sprig, and set the sprigs aside.
- Chop enough of the leaves to make 1 1/2 teaspoons.
- (Reserve any remaining leaves for another use.)
- Combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, ground chipotle, and chopped rosemary in a medium bowl.
- Season the marinade with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the shrimp and toss until coated.
- Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Then skewer 2 shrimp on each rosemary sprig.
- Heat a large heavy saute pan (or comal) over high heat.
- Add the skewers and cook for 1 minute per side, or until the shrimp are cooked through.
- Transfer the skewers to a platter, garnish with the lime wedges, and serve immediately.
- Use the same marinade on chicken breasts and on whole chickens for roasting.
- Its also great on any white fish fillet; just add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings after the fish has been cooked and removed.
- Drizzle the sauce over the fish and serve!
