About the recipe
It's amazingly easy to spice up a simple seafood, meat or chicken entree with the addition of canned chipotles in adobo sauce or smoked dried jalapenos in a spicy red sauce. In this dish, a chopped chipotle is mixed with tartar sauce to add a big burst of distinctive flavor and a touch of heat. For a little added heat, drizzle some adobo sauce on the shrimp before grilling when tossing them with a little oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
Freeze the remaining chipotles in ice cube trays with some of the sauce, then pop them out and keep in a freezer bag for use later.
