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.
