Shrimp is easily one of my favorite foods. They are so good all by themselves but it is also really easy to add a ton of flavour to them. I bookmarked this recipe for chipotle and orange marinated shrimp while ago when I saw it on the food network. I really like the sound of the smoky and spicy chipotle with orange marinade. I was cleaning out my fridge when I found some leftover chipotles in adobo sauce and I knew that I was going to use them to make this dish. They were super simple to make, just marinate the prawns and grill/fry for a few minutes. They were really tasty!

Kevin, I saw that episode and yes, this quick & easy dish sounds delish.
you’re right. shrimps have a great natural sweet flavour but a little help from other ingredients makes it absolutely mindblowing. thumbs up. again.;)

Wow, the color on the shrimp is amazing. They look fabulous! Plus what’s not to love about how quick and easy they are!
I hardly ever eat shrip (or prawns as we call them) because they are so expensive, but…so good! This looks really fresh and vibrant, orange, chilli and cilantro (or coriander as we calls it!) sound like the perfect combo for shrimp. Or prawns…whatever 🙂
I love shrimp on skewers. This is one nice recipe. The picture makes me hungry, too bad.

I love shrimp (although in the UK they’re called prawns) a shrimp over here is very, very tiny.
