  • In a freezer bag, marinate the shrimp in the olive oil, chipotle powder, lemon pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and pepper flakes. Marinate at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • One hour before grilling, soak the skewers in water.
  • Skewer the shrimp, about 4-5 per skewer and grill on both sides until cooked through and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side.
  • For the cream, combine the mashed avocado, sour cream, and lime juice together until a smooth consistency. If too think, add a teaspoon of water at a time until creamy. If too creamy, add more sour cream.
