Chipotle Lime Shrimp Skewers on a plate

This recipe is perfect for busy families who still want to enjoy a simple yet delicious shrimp recipe. I made these last week in under an hour and used chipotle powder on the fresh shrimp instead of a typical chili powder for my marinade. The flavor had a perfect balance with the lime.

Kitchen Note

  • This Lime Shrimp Skewers recipe was tested using uncooked peeled deveined extra-large shrimp (16-20 count). Shrimp are sold at the seafood counter by the approximate number per pound, and since size designation has not been standardized, it is best to use the count per pound as a guide.
Prep time: 45 minutes (includes marinating)
Cooking time: 6 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients for Chipotle Lime Shrimp Skewers

For the Shrimp Marinade

  • 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 c. Fresh lime juice (2 large limes)
  • 1 T. Lime zest
  • 1 t. Chipotle peppers (chili)
  • 1/2 t. Smoked paprika
  • 1 t. Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 T. Honey 
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Remaining Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 lbs. Extra-large peeled deveined shrimp
  • 4 Skewers

To Serve: This is best served hot right off the grill. I like them as an appetizer, on top of a fresh garden salad, or in shrimp tacos.

Optional Garnish: Fresh parsley or fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Supplies Used

  • Grill
  • Grill grate
  • 15″ metal skewers

*Preparation Note: I prefer to use four 12-15” metal skewers for this recipe. If using wooden skewers be sure to soak for at least 30 minutes before adding shrimp to prevent burning.   

Cooking Directions for Chripotle Lime Shrimp Skewers

#1. Whisk honey, lime juice, chipotle powder, and other marinade ingredients together in a small jar with a lid (or a large resealable plastic bag).

#2. Pour one-half of the marinade mixture into a large non-reactive bowl and reserve the other half in the jar for serving.

#3. Place shrimp into a bowl and toss to coat. Marinate at least 15 minutes but not longer than 30 minutes.

#4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, 5-6 per skewer.

#5. Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium heat. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp until no longer translucent, 3-4 minutes per side. Watch carefully as shrimp cook very quickly and will become rubbery if overcooked.

#6. Remove from the grill onto a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining marinade.

#7. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley sprigs and slices of fresh limes or as desired above. Enjoy your Lime Shrimp Skewers!
