Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup chipotle peppers in adobo about half of a 7.5 oz can, chopped (including some of the sauce)
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup chipotle peppers in adobo, 6 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons water, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and ½ teaspoons salt to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and cook while stirring an additional two minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Transfer mixture to a large re-sealable plastic bag.

Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side until shrimp is fully cooked and no longer transparent. This shrimp goes great with some cilantro lime rice and black beans.
