Ground chipotle chile adds smoky, slightly sweet spiciness to the dish. Hot paprika makes a good substitute, or use sweet paprika for a milder heat.

My family, friends and I absolutely LOVE this recipe. We usually make guacamole tostadas and top it with these shrimp, but I've served it over brown rice (increasing the sauce by 1/2) and as a tapas dish on a buffet. Delicious with a little Queso Fresca crumbled over the top.

I love this recipe. It is one of our easy weeknight staples. I serve it with brown rice and another veggie. Super easy to make and the sauce is great.
