Super easy chipotle lime shrimp made on a grill or a grill pan. For accessibility purposes, I use chipotle powder in this recipe, but you can also use chipotle adobo as well if you have it on hand!
1lb. shrimpfresh or thawed and peeled and deveined
1 1/2tspchipotle powderor more to taste, depends on your spice preference!
1/2tspgarlic powder
1/4tsponion powder
2tbsplime juice*or the juice of 1 lime
2tbspavocado oil
1/4tsp salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the shrimp. Mix together un til combined.
Add the shrimp and let them marinate for 10-30 minutes.
Heat a grill pan on high heat. Don't oil the pan as that will prevent the char marks from forming.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and dry them off with a paper towel. Sprinkle a touch of salt on both sides.
With tongs, place as many as you can onto the hot grill pan, making sure none of the shrimp overlap or touch. Cook on one side for 1-2 minutes, until char marks develop, then flip and cook for another 1 minute.
If making them in multiple batches, repeat with the next batch. Serve with cilantro and fresh lime. If not serving immediately, keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
If you don't have garlic or onion powder, you can truly just make this with chipotle powder, lime, and salt!
