Chipotle Honey Lime Shrimp

Chipotle Honey Lime Shrimp

This chipotle honey lime shrimp makes a fabulous party appetizer. I even tried it on skewers this time and it was extra amazing! I love to make this early in the day and store it in the fridge. Then I serve it up chilled with toothpicks for easy service. This would also make a fabulous main entree for dinner. I would serve it over brown rice or with a huge salad! We always buy our shrimp at Costco! They are huge and delicious every time.
