Shrimp In Hot And Smoky Chipotle Sauce

This is one of my favorite dishes! We used a buttery version of this to top small corn griddlecakes for an appetizer at the Coyote Café. I have since refined it a number of times and, after repeatedly eating it and watching it prepared in the state of Veracruz, where it is a tradition, I think I may have it almost perfected. These shrimp are suitable as a main dish, appetizer, or in tacos, served either hot or cold.
