Chipotle Shrimp

We’re spending some time by the ocean and here’s what we had for dinner the other night.  Just a perfect dish for anytime , but the dish was really good for a little vacation time!  It’s so easy and packed with lots of flavor.  I like it with a little more heat so I added  more chipotle peppers.  Don’t wait for vacation to try these shrimp and grits now is the perfect time.  Happy Thanksgiving to you!
