| Is there anyone who doesn't love shrimp? Even people | | | | many different types of recipes. This particular one is |
| who won't touch any other form of seafood have no | | | | a smokin' blend of red peppers, cayenne pepper, and |
| problem polishing off a shrimp dinner. Not only are | | | | chipotle peppers combined with onion, roasted garlic |
| shrimp delicious and loved by millions, but they are | | | | and zesty lime juice. Delish!!! And E.A.S.Y. |
| incredibly easy to prepare. However, since my | | | | Ingredients (Serves: 4-6) |
| husband is highly allergic to them (he goes into | | | | 2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined |
| anaphylactic shock and his throat closes up), it goes | | | | Juice from 2 whole limes |
| without saying shrimp is rarely on the dinner menu in | | | | 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (look for canned chipotles in |
| our house! | | | | adobo sauce) |
| Actually the recipe below is similar to one I often make | | | | 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, |
| substituting chunks of grilled extra-firm tofu for the | | | | divided |
| shrimp (which, by the way, is also a very tasty vegan | | | | 4 cloves garlic, minced |
| meal!) But, when my mom sent me over a recipe she | | | | 1 cup finely chopped Spanish onion |
| created for a chipotle spiced shrimp dish it gave me | | | | 1 cup finely chopped carrots |
| the idea to try a variation of my tofu recipe with | | | | 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) Muir Glenn Organic Fire |
| shrimp instead. | | | | Roasted Diced Tomatoes |
| Not only is this a deliciously nutritious and | | | | Mrs. Dash All-Natural "Southwest Chipotle" seasoning, |
| flavor-forward "whole foods" recipe, but it really is | | | | to taste |
| beyond easy to prepare. One of the reasons it's such | | | | Sea salt, to taste |
| an easy recipe is because it doesn't have a store-full | | | | Small handful chopped fresh cilantro |
| of ingredients. You can thank my mom for the | | | | 1. Preheat the grill. Soak bamboo skewers in cold |
| simplicity! Mom gave me the idea to reduce the | | | | water for 30 minutes, or use metal skewers. |
| number of spices and herbs in my regular recipe by | | | | 2. Add the lime juice, adobo sauce and 2 teaspoons of |
| using Mrs. Dash all-natural "Southwest Chipotle" | | | | the extra virgin olive oil to a large zip-top bag. Add the |
| seasoning instead of the typical multitude of spices I | | | | shrimp to the bag and marinate the shrimp while you |
| have a tendency to lean towards (and yes, I know too | | | | prepare the sauce. |
| many ingredients can appear daunting when reading a | | | | 3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil |

| mom | | | | and onion; sauté 2-3 minutes, or until onion softens. |
| I really don't know why I never thought of using Mrs. | | | | Add the carrots and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add |
| Dash before, but sprinkling on just one seasoning that | | | | the tomato sauce and Mrs. Dash seasoning. Simmer |
| packs such an incredible flavor punch is one of the | | | | sauce for 10 minutes. |
| easiest and most time-saving cooking tips I've come | | | | 4. While sauce is simmering, grill shrimp 1-2 minutes per |
| across in a long, long time! Best of all, Mrs. Dash has | | | | side, until grilled through (be careful not to over-cook!!) |
| tons of different seasoning blends (Italian, Extra Spicy, | | | | 5. Remove sauce from heat and stir in cilantro. Add |
| Lemon Pepper, Fiesta Lime, etc) that can be used for | | | | the cooked shrimp. |
