Marinate the Shrimp: In a glass or plastic bowl, combine cilantro, minced garlic, chipotle chiles with sauce, olive oil, and fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, then add the shrimp, tossing to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Make the Dipping Sauce: In another glass bowl, whisk together ketchup, orange juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and any additional chipotle chiles with sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
-
Cook the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade. For presentation, thread 4 to 5 shrimp onto each skewer, or you can grill them directly on the grill without skewers for convenience. Place the skewers on the oiled grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink. Be cautious not to overcook.
-
Serve: Arrange the shrimp around a bowl of dipping sauce on a round platter. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy your deliciously spicy shrimp cocktail!
