Marcela's Rosemary-Skewered Shrimp Marinated in Chipotle

I am a HUGE "Mexican Made Easy" fan! Have you experienced Marcela Valladolid show on Food Network? I have gobbled up every episode, and she is so charming! She makes mexican dishes with such ease and so quickly! I have made several dishes of Marcela's but this is the latest. Super delish shrimp with a nice zest. They are a great app or would be scrumptious over a fresh salad! Cant wait to try them hot off the GRILL next time=)


 Adapted From Marcela Valladolid

15 fresh THICK rosemary sprigs, or if you run out of rosemary use bamboo skewers
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 TBS. fresh lime juice
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
3 TBS. chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle chile
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled but tails left intact, and deveined
Lime wedges, for serving

Remove the leaves from half the length of each rosemary sprig, and set aside. Chop enough of the rosemary leaves to make 1 1/2 teaspoons. Combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, ground chipotle, and rosemary in a med bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand 5 min , then skewer on sprigs of rosemary and/or bamboo skewers. Heat a large heavy skillet or an outside grill. Cook a 1-1 1/2 mins per side and flip. Plate them up and sever with lime wedges.
