    I post many seafood recipes all the time, sometimes I wonder how I keep my non seafood followers interested in reading this here little blog of mine 🙂 …because I have much more seafood posts than I do anything else! I just love seafood my foodie friend!

    I try to diversify my recipes and my posts, but truthfully, sometimes, it is somewhat hard for me….

    So here I go again…

    Camarones Fritos con Crema de Chipotle!  Or Fried Shrimps with Creamy Chipotle Sauce!

    So to my strict Vegetarians, Vegans and sole carnivores, this post and recipe is not for you! 🙂

    Ok so forgive me, but for my seafood followers, let’s continue! 🙂

    Let’s continue talking about this very simple but absolutely delicious Camarones Fritos con Crema de Chipotle recipe.

    Fried Shrimp Recipes (Recetas de Camarones)

    As I said before, I make a lot of seafood recipes and quite a few are shrimp recipes so a bag of frozen shrimp are usually in my freezer at all times.  However, not to long ago I came across shrimps from Argentina.

    I buy these shrimps at one of my local markets that sells foods from different places around the world, and lucky for me, they always have these Argentinian Shrimp that I swear to you taste like lobster!  They are my ultimate favorite shrimp to buy!

    I have written about these delicious shrimp in past posts and have said that if you are lucky enough to live in a place where Argentinian shrimp are sold, PLEASE OH PLEASEEE buy these!!!  I promise you won’t regret it!  They’re just fabulousssssss!

    But no worries, you can use any fresh or frozen raw shrimps for this recipe.

    Creamy Chipotle Shrimp Recipe

    To truly enjoy fried shrimp, you must have an amazing sauce to go along with it.  And this Creamy Chipotle Sauce is no exception.

    A creamy chipotle sauce is very simple to make and it does wonders for any fried shrimp recipe.  Combine a few ingredients and you would have created the perfect sauce/dip for your fried shrimp.

    Ingredients: chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, mayo, fresh garlic, fresh lime juice, salt and pepper.  Simple right?

    Make this delicious sauce and a whole magical thing happens when you use it as a dip for your fried shrimp.
