These are very spicy and packed full of yummy flavors...I agree with jswinks...next time I will crush the herbs...they were just a bit dominate in the dish...but gave great flavor...I just loved the sauce even through I couldn't get it to liquify...maybe because I cut the recipe in half...so I just chopped it up finely and added a tad more lime juice...also to keep the fat down I omitted the oil and just squeezed more lime juice on the shrimp...thanks for posting...:)

These were packed with flavor and spice! I didn't have chipotle powder, so I sub'd 1/2 cayenne powder and 1/2 chili powder. I used 1 lb. shrimp and felt like there was still lots of seasoning on each shrimp. The seasoning is very strong and gritty, and almost overpowers the shrimp, but it is a good flavor so we didn't mind (and maybe next time we'll crush the herbs first). The sauce is a great tangy contrast to the spice. I cooked them on my indoor grill as we ran out of propane halfway through grilling (oops!), they turned out great. Thanks for a yummy dinner!
