How to Make Chipotle Barbecued Shrimp With Goat Cheese Cream

**Make the Chipotle Marinade:** In a blender, combine 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (depending on desired heat), ½ cup adobo sauce, ¼ cup lime juice, ¼ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons tequila, ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.
**Marinate the Shrimp:** In a shallow dish, combine the chipotle mixture and 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined). Cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
**Prepare the Goat Cheese Cream:** In a bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened goat cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
**Preheat & Prep Grill:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
**Grill the Shrimp:** Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving the marinade. Thread shrimp onto 4 large metal skewers. Grill for 6-8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes and basting with reserved marinade each time. Shrimp is done when pink and opaque.
**Serve:** Remove shrimp from skewers and arrange on a platter. Drizzle generously with the goat cheese cream and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
