1/2 to 1 tablespoon chipotle chile canned in adobo, minced
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Spicy Shrimp:
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, headless, peeled and deveined

8 soft taco size flour tortillas, warmed

Combine the ingredients for the Chipotle Cream; chill until ready to use.

Preheat broiler to high and move rack to highest position in oven. Place shrimp on a shallow baking pan. Season with chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and salt. Pour oil over and toss to combine. Broil close to heat for 2 minutes; turn over and cook another minute or two or until just cooked. You don't want them to dry out. Remove shrimp from pan.

To serve, place a tortilla on a plate. Add a few shrimp and then toppings of your choice. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over, roll up and enjoy!
