Creamy avocado and sweet corn help tame the heat in this well-seasoned, spicy entrée. Cooking the shrimp and veggies in the same skillet not only makes this dish simple to prepare but it helps the flavors to meld. Serve extra chipotle sauce on the side for those who like even more spice. Pair it with a side of fresh melon for an easy dessert or get adventurous and make lettuce wraps by spooning the mixture into romaine or Bibb lettuce leaves. To save time, purchase the shrimp already peeled and deveined. Most seafood counters will peel and devein shrimp for you free of charge if you call and order ahead.
