What You’ll Need:

  • 1 7 oz can chipotles in adobo

  • 2-4 cloves of garlic

  • Lime juice

  • 1 ½ tbsp EVOO

  • S&P

  • 1 can corn, drained

  • 1 fresno pepper, diced

  • 1 shallot, diced

  • 1lb peeled & deveined raw shrimp (that’s about 32 individual mid-sized shrimp, so adjust accordingly), tails removed

  • Flour Tortillas

  • Feta or Cotija cheese to top

For optional slaw:

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage

  • ½ cup shredded carrot

  • 1 ½ tbsp sour cream

  • 1.2 tbsp cumin

  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or other vinegar, if preferred)

  • 1 tbsp silk chili from Burlap & Barrel

  • S & P to taste


How to Make It:

  1. In a food processor, combine chipotles in adobo, garlic, lime juice, EVOO, and s & p. Start with 2 tbsps lime juice and adjust to taste. Process until smooth.

  2. In a container, marinate the shrimp in chipotle-lime mixture for 15 - 30 minutes in the refrigerator

  3. While the shrimp marinates, combine corn, fresno pepper, and shallot in a skillet with EVOO and s & p. Cook on medium-high heat until the corn is charred, about 10-15 minutes.

  4. Now’s the time to make the slaw if you want! In a medium mixing bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, sour cream, cumin, lime juice, vinegar, and silk chili. Mix thoroughly. Add s & p and adjust chili and cumin to personal taste. Set aside in the fridge until it’s time to eat.

  5. Preheat the grill to about 500° before skewering shrimp on grill safe (metal) skewers, about 8 shrimp per

  6. Place shrimp on grill and baste with marinade mixture. Close lid and cook for 3-4 minutes

  7. Flip skewers and baste again. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes

  8. Remove from heat. Grill tortillas now if desired

  9. Take shrimp off skewers. Serve with charred corn, taco sauce, feta, and chili-lime slaw.
