Chipotle Shrimp
Do you love spicy? Do you love shrimp? If you do, you are sure to love this amazing Chipotle Shrimp recipe! We were just hanging out and decided we were in the mood for shrimp. I usually keep a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer, so we dug it out and started cooking. We love things like Boom Boom Shrimp or Bang Bang shrimp, but they often come with a nice price tag at restaurants. We decided to whip up some of our own at home!

- 1 whole Lemon (Optional)
- 3 ounce Cream Cheese, softened
