Raspberry Chipotle Shrimp Skewers

The perfect quick and easy meal! With a slightly spicy sauce these Raspberry Chipotle Shrimp Skewers can be cooked on the grill or in your favorite pan for a quick weeknight dinner.How about we just call this the easiest dinner on the planet?!  My kids adore shrimp and judging by the fact that within less than 3 minutes from when I set this on the table they were fighting over the last piece I’d say this recipe was a huge success.  The fact it only took me a few minutes to make was the icing on the cake!  When my kids eat this well and the work for me is minimal it quickly becomes a recipe on regular and frequent rotation at our house. It’s perfect for a light summer dinner or to accompany another main course like some grilled ribeye.

What kind of grill to I need to make Raspberry Chipotle Shrimp Skewers?

• Fire up your favorite outdoor grill – charcoal, gas or wood-fired will all work!
