was browsing the cooking pages of my old hometown paper (www.elnorte.com)
and came across this...sounds good...(notice the spelling of "chipotle",
it's wrong, but seems to be a common mistake...

(i think this is a pretty clean translation...the only stumbling block
was "azucar moscada", which neither i nor my twenty-pound velazquez
dictionary can phantom..."azucar" is definitely sugar, so i guessed at
"powdered sugar", which i think is pretty close...

Chilpotle Shrimp
================
(8 Servings)

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup minced onion
4 minced cloves of garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons chopped canned chilpotle chile (2 tablespoons, ha! - bj)
1 kilo (2.2 pounds) jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

Heat the oil and saute the onion until golden, about 10 minutes. 

Add the garlic, cumin and oregano; stir-fry one minute; place in blender 
with one cup of water, the vinegar and the chilpotle chile.  Blend into a

paste. 

Empty half of this mixture into a bowl and put in the refrigerator to
cool.  
Put the shrimp into this bowl and mix to cover the shrimp with the paste;

cover and return to the refrigerator for two hours. 

Put the remaining paste in a skillet and add the orange juice and sugar; 
bring to a boil.  Lower the heat and cook the mixture for 10 minutes,
until 
reduced to half a cup; let cool.  Heat the broiler or grill. Remove the 
shrimp and dry them; with a brush cover them with the orange sauce and
grill
(broil) until opaque, about two minutes per side.

i think a hefty shot of jim's apple-smoked hab powder would do wonders
for the sauce...if i had any of jim's apple-smoked hab powder, that
is...no, that's ok, i can wait another two months to get some...really...
