Chipotle Lime Shrimp. A smokey chipotle chile pepper, lime juice, honey, and garlic on a skillet. It will take 15 minutes to prepare this, and it is quite tasty.
Even in sunny Southern California, I can feel the drop in temperature and the crisp cool air as fall begins. I turn to spicy foods like this Chipotle Lime Shrimp on colder days to keep me warm.
Chipotle chili powder has quickly become my favorite. I adore how the smokey flavor and increased heat from dried jalapenos make everything smell and taste so much better. This Chipotle Lime Shrimp is so good that I ate the whole skillet of shrimp by myself. This recipe is perfect for game day appetizers.
It’s also a fantastic weeknight meal when served with cilantro lime rice, spaghetti, or garlic noodles. It’s fantastic! Each serving of this meal has only 395 calories. I offer the following recipes for a healthy supper and a quick midweek dinner.
