Ingredients
- 1 lb raw large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 chipotle in adobo sauce finely chopped (may want to use gloves, spicy) can also substitute with a quarter teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cloves fresh garlic finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- 1 red pepper chopped in square chunks
- 1 yellow onion chopped in square chunks

- 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
- 1 package mini wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in glass bowl or ziplock bag and toss to coat. Add shrimp, stir. Marinate for 20 minutes in refrigerator. Do not marinate longer because the acid in the lime juice will start to cook shrimp.
- To assemble, thread one shrimp and one piece of each vegetable. Repeat process until skewer is almost full leaving about an inch of skewer so one can hold and hold onto while eating.
- Cook shrimp skewers on inside house grill or cook on outside grill for a few minutes on each side until shrimps are pink and vegetables are a crisp and slighty charred. Serve on platter for everyone to enjoy.
