How to Make Chipotle Shrimp

  1. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp and 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), and sauté for 2 minutes per side, until lightly pink.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc) and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Cook until the shrimp are opaque in the center (about 1-2 minutes more).
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of chilled butter until melted and creates a glossy sauce.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing.
  8. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
