Interesting. Here's a similar shrimp/chipotle recipe I found in my files
(a recipe I haven't tried, but implicitly presume it to be delicious, being
from one of Diana Kennedy's cookbooks and all).

Shrimps in Chipotle Sauce - Camarones Enchipotlados
(from The Art of Mexican Cooking, Diana Kennedy)
1 lb. shrimp, large, peeled, butterflied (with tail left on)
salt to taste
pepper, black to taste
1/4 C. lime juice, fresh
1/3 C. olive, oil, light
1 onion, white, medium, finely sliced
3/4 lb. tomatoes, broiled (about 2 medium)
4 chiles chipotles adobados, or to taste
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1/3 C. wine, white, dry
1/4 tsp oregano, dried, Mexican if possible
Yield: 3 servings
Season the shrimps with salt, pepper, and lime juice and set aside to
marinate for about 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a frying pan; add the drained shrimp, reserving any liquid,
and sliced onion and fry, shaking the pan and tossing the ingredients, for
about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp and onion with a slotted spoon and set
aside.
In a blender, blend the tomatoes, chipotles and their liquid, and garlic to
a textured sauce. Reheat the oil, add the sauce, and fry over high heat,
stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking, for about
8 minutes. Add the wine, oregano, marinade, and salt to taste and cook for
another minute. Add the shrimp/onion mixture and cook for about 2 minutes,
the shrimps should be just cooked and still crisp.
