Savory, spicy, salty, sour, and with a hint of sweet from the honey, these Bloody Mary Chipotle Shrimp hits all the right notes! Tito’s brand of vodka, out of Austin, Texas, is one of my favorites when I prepare bloody Mary’s. A bloody Mary and this spicy shrimp make a great appetizer or light meal with some added rice or grilled vegetables.
Serve with a quick cocktail sauce or warm tortillas with guacamole for some awesome shrimp tacos! The ultimate bloody Mary garnished with a skewer of spicy shrimp. Now I am getting ahead of myself and can’t wait to prepare these again. However you decide to enjoy this delicious shrimp dish, it’s a must try for your next indoor or outdoor gathering.
Do you remember the first time you cooked shrimp for the first time?
Sure, I can laugh about it now, but I was so nervous! Lol! My first shrimp dish was probably ceviche. I let it cure in the lime juice forever because I was unknowledgeable about handling seafood. The first time actually cooking shrimp, yup, I definitely overcooked to a rubber stage, ha, ha, ha!
