- Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold running water, then blot dry with paper towels. Place the cilantro, garlic and chipotle with its juices in a non-reactive mixing bowl and toss to mix. Stir in the olive oil and lime juice, season with salt and cracked pepper to taste. Add the shrimp and let them marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for about 30 minutes, or longer for a deeper flavor.
- Prepare the cocktail sauce: Place the ketchup, orange juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and chipotle(s) with their juices in a non-reactive mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Taste for seasoning and add more lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook: Thread 3-4 shrimp onto a skewer and grill 2 minutes per side or until pink in color and firm to the touch. Use wood chips to produce a smoky flavor. Serve warm or cold with the cocktail sauce.
