These Honey Chipotle Grilled Shrimp taste like something out of a restaurant…no kidding. With a delicious combination of flavors, the result was amazing. They are a real treat.
The great thing about shrimp is that they are so easy and quick to cook! They grill up in a jiffy. The honey chipotle marinade on this shrimp is out of this world.

Grilled shrimp is always a family favorite when I make it, but I decided to use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Original Spray, which I bought at my local Walmart, to spray the shrimp before and during grilling.
OHH BOY…the taste is unbelievably delicious!
And the best part is that they have a great buttery taste without the calories (happy dance).
