Note
Canned chipotle in adobo sauce can be found in the mexican section at most grocery stores. I never use more than 1 or 2 in a recipe since they're so spicy so I freeze the remainder on a cookie sheet and then transfer them to a plastic baggie.
Directions
| 1. | If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 1 hour prior to grilling. Combine ingredients for chipotle lime marinade and thai red curry marinade in two seperate bowls. |
| 2. | Add 1 pound of shrimp to each bowl, stir until shrimp are well coated. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes (no longer). |
| 3. | Thread 5 shrimp onto each skewer. Over high heat on a well oiled BBQ grill, cooked shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, until just cooked through. |
| 4. | Serve as an appetizer or along with quinoa and mango salsa for a full meal. |
