Tips
- You can swap the sour cream for cream cheese for a richer, thicker consistency. However, you will have to add more milk to the mixture for it to be fully incorporated.
- If you don’t like spicy, use just 1 chipotle chile. You’ll still get that delicious smoky chipotle flavor to your sour cream enchipotle shrimp without losing that special spicy kick.
- To prepare this recipe, we suggest that the bigger the shrimp, the better. That’s why we use large shrimp.
