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!

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!
