Shrimp With Chipotle Sauce image

This is one of my favourite appetizers, adapted from The Surreal Gourmet. You can adjust the 'heat' by changing the amount of chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. I usually serve this as an appetizer over a mesclun mix of leaf lettuces, herbs, and tender greens.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp was rubbery and the sauce was too spicy.

This dish was okay. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and the chipotle sauce was bland. I wouldn't make this again.

I loved this recipe! It was easy to follow and the shrimp turned out great. The chipotle sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed the dish.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the chipotle sauce was flavorful and not too spicy. I would definitely make this again.
