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!

Chipotle Lime Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 lb. 0.4 kg shrimp, shelled, deveined and tail-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

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!!
Awesome!
So delicious and quick! I added 3/4 tsp Mexican Oregano and it added another layer of flavour. ****

Fixed these for dinner with over loaded potato skins and they were wonderful. Not a one remained! Highly recommend and is for sure a delicious favorite.
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. :)
You remind me i didn’t eat shrimp for a long time. And your recipe has all of my favorite taste: sour of lime, spicy of Chipotle chili!!!!! I love it and your pictures you show in this article,too. Hope to see your new sharing!
