Spicy Chipotle Shrimp Skewers

Note: you should soak your skewers in water for up to 60 minutes before grilling!

In a food processor combine the garlic, chipotle peppers and sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cilantro, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Pulse a few times to combine and make a paste.

In a large bowl or plastic bag place the cleaned shrimp. Pour the marinade/paste over the shrimp, and mix well to thoroughly coat. Marinate for 20 minutes.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and discard the excess marinade. Thread about 6 shrimp per skewer, and grill on the preheated medium-high grill until the shrimp turn pink and opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side. You can also cook the pineapple slices at the same time, cooking until pineapple is softened and caramelized on both sides.

Serve on top of your favorite type of rice!
