Fiery Chipotle Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled
- 12 slices bacon, cut in half
- 1 cup honey
- 1 5-ounce bottle Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
- 3 tablespoons chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, and more for garnish
- White corn tortillas, cut in half, for serving
Instructions
Place bacon in a microwave-safe dish, cover and partially cook on high for 4 minutes. Remove from dish and drain on paper towels. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each shrimp, secure with a toothpick and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, Tabasco, chili sauce, lime juice, brown sugar and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and sauce is hot and bubbly, 5-7 minutes. Stir in cilantro, reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. When hot, add shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink and bacon is crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, remove toothpicks and toss in sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas and extra cilantro for garnish. Makes 6-8 appetizer servings.
