Baked Shrimp in Chipotle Sauce

""In this spin on New Orleans's classic appetizer of barbecue shrimp, chipotle chiles stand in for cayenne and black pepper, truly transforming the dish with a beguiling play of spice, a hint of smoke, and a gorgeous brick-red color. Here, we serve the shrimp as a main course — but in the spirit of the original, we've kept this a meal to eat with your hands. Peeling the shrimp, slurping their shells, and scooping up the hot, buttery sauce with crusty bread makes for nothing less than a feast. Best of all, it's ready in a flash."

  1. This is very tasty! I have made it several times now. I triple the garlic and use white wine intead of the red. Double the sauce so you have plenty for the baguette. Thanks for posting Nana Lee.
