Chipotle Lime Shrimp - Skillet shrimp with smoky chipotle chili pepper, lime juice, honey and garlic. Takes 15 minutes to make and so delicious.
Fall officially starts and I can certainly feel the dip in temperature and the crisp cool air, even in sunny Southern California.
When it comes to cooler days, I rely on spicy food to warm me up, such as this utterly delicious Chipotle Lime Shrimp.
Chipotle chili pepper has become my favorite chili powder.
I love the smoky flavor and the stronger heat from dried jalapenos, making everything so much more aromatic and delicious.
This Chipotle Lime Shrimp is so delicious that I finished the entire skillet of shrimp myself.
This recipe is great as an appetizer for game day.
It’s also an amazing dish for busy weeknights; serve it with cilantro lime rice, spaghetti or garlic noodles.
It’s so good!

Absolutely delicious and easy! The flavors compliment each other nicely. I didn’t have the chipotle chilli seasoning so just used taco seasoning. Enjoyed in fajitas!!

It looks delicious. I can easily see how you ate the whole pan by yourself! Can’t wait to try it. Do you prefer the Chipotle powder or are you also adding the dried Jalapenos you talked about? Where might one find dried jalapenos? My husband eats them as soon as we pick them!
I used the Chipotle chili pepper powder. :)
