I love seafood and shrimp is right up on the top of my list, so I was super excited to see that they are very low in calories! This recipe is very simple and goes together fast for a quick meal.
Whisk together the chipotle chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, season salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl, toss with olive oil and garlic. Add the spice rub and stir well to coat; set aside.
Skewer shrimp with 2 skewers to prevent difficulty in turning shrimp.
Place on a grill to cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Holy schmoley, those look fantastic! I can't wait to make these. Thanks for sharing, Jenn!
Your posts are filling in the blank spots on my menu plan! My husband and son will LOVE this! Perfect for this weekend! And a Happy~Almost~Weekend to you Friend!! PS ~ Somehow when I tried to link to you on FB to share your post, I've disconnected us and can't reconnect. I can't find a "like" button on your page. Help!
I could eat about 20 of these right now. Yum
those shrimp skewers look excellent. i love all open fire grilled seafood.
Hi Jennifer,
Just wondering if this recipe is supposed to call for 2 tsps of chili powder rather than 2 Tbs. I made it tonight but found it almost impossible to eat because it was so hot (in fact my husband couldn't eat it and he loves very spicy foods). Maybe we are just wimps?? I will definitely make this again but will adjust the chili powder. FYI: I was able to eat it if I cut a shrimp in half and ate it with my cheesy grits) — very good if a bit caliente!
Hi BTLover2…I think you're right. I think I meant 2 teaspoons…I'll go in and change it.
Thanks for the heads up and sorry about your dinner!
Wow- saw this recipe on pinterest and cooked it tonight. They are as good as they look- blew us away!! Can’t wait to check out the rest of the site
I cant wait to try!! Looks so delicious! Question though, do you use cooked shrimp?
No, definitely use raw shrimp for this recipe…otherwise you’ll end up with something rubbery! Let me know what you think…and thanks for stopping by!
I can’t wait to give this recipe a try when I get out to my parents’ house (and bbq!) this summer!! Shared it with my readers HERE: http://seektobemerry.blogspot.com/2012/05/fire-up-grill.html
BBQ shrimp is always good, think I’ll have to try this as soon as the weather improves!
