  • 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped

Equipment

  • skewers

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Place wooden skewers in a water bath to soak for 20 minutes. This prevents them from burning in the oven.
  3. In a large bowl, add the shrimp, olive oil, chipotle pepper, fresh garlic, chili powder, coriander, oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix together very well.
  4. Grab a skewer and first thread one piece of shrimp on. Then add a green and red bell pepper. Add another piece of shrimp, then another green and red bell pepper, and one last shrimp. Make sure to brush the peppers with any extra marinade.
  5. Place the skewers on the rack and pop in the oven to bake for about 6 to 7 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink. For extra browning, turn on broil for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy.
