I love the smokey heat of this Rosemary Chipotle Shrimp. A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño. I love the smokey heat. I did not skewer these shrimp with rosemary sprigs, but it's a great idea. This marinade can be used on chicken or any white fish; just add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings after the chicken or fish has been cooked and removed. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.

Rosemary Chipotle Shrimp

Ingredients

15 fresh rosemary sprigs

Marinade

1/4 cup olive oil

1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 Tablespoons rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds raw medium-sized shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left intact

2 limes, sliced into wedges, for serving

Directions

1Remove the leaves from half of each rosemary sprig. Reserve the sprigs to use for skewers. Chop enough of the leaves to make 1 1/2 teaspoons. (Reserve the remaining leaves for another use.) Combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and chopped rosemary in a medium bowl. Season the marinade with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the shrimp and toss until coated. Let stand for 5 minutes. Skewer 2 shrimp onto each rosemary sprig.

2Heat a large, wide grill pan over high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 1 minute per side, or just until the shrimp is cooked through and turns pink. Do not overcook. Transfer to a platter, garnish with the lime wedges and serve immediately.
