When we were traveling in Wisconsin last weekend, during the Memorial Day Holiday, we had a fantastic shrimp appetizer at one of our favorite restaurants.. We were eating at the Red Eye Brewing Company in Wausau, WI. On the appetizer menu they had skewered shrimp with aioli. Let’s just say it was perfect and we all commented on how great it was. As I always do when I find a dish that I want to recreate at home, I took a photo, enjoyed the wonderful meal and headed home with a great recipe inspiration. Instead of serving these with aioli, I thought a chipotle dip with seasoned shrimp would be my take on this recipe. This is one of the best new creations I have made – I think you will agree. Six ingredients and sensational flavor – easy and delicious!
- Raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail on
- Bamboo skewers, soaked in water
- Garlic salt
- Cumin
- Chili Powder
- Chipolte Sauce
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, chopped
- Thread each skewer with one shrimp - refer to photo
- Lightly dust the shrimp with garlic salt, cumin and chili powder.
- Prepare sauce by combining sour cream and chipotle peppers - refrigerate until serving. If you like a sauce with more kick - add an additional pepper.
- Grill the shrimp over medium hot coals approx. 2- 3 minutes per side, until they are no longer opaque, do not overcook or they will be tough.
- Serve the shrimp with the chipotle sauce.
