Steps:
- Whisk together the chicken broth, agave, clementine juice, chipotle powder, cumin, lime zest and juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat an indoor grill plate over high heat.
- Set a strainer over a bowl and drain the shrimp completely, reserving the marinade for later. Place the shrimp in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt. Grease the grill plate with oil.
- Grill the shrimp on both sides until super charred and no longer pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add the reserved marinade and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp and stir to coat in the sauce. Season with salt. If serving with brown rice, season with a couple drops of rice wine vinegar, plate and serve.
TAJíN GRILLED CHICKEN
Tajín is a Mexican seasoning made from dried, ground red chiles, sea salt and dehydrated lime juice. It is great sprinkled over fresh cut fruit like mango and pineapple, or rimmed on an ice cold margarita. But it is also an easy way to add chile and lime to your favorite grilled meats, rubs or sauces. In this dish, the lime in the Tajín balances out the sweetness from the agave syrup, while the red chiles complement the smoky flavor of the chipotles. Serve the chicken as is or on toasted hamburger buns with a schmear of mayonnaise, chopped grilled scallions, cilantro leaves and sliced pickled jalapeños. This Tajín sauce also would pair well with grilled bass, cod or salmon, or with shrimp skewers.
