Adding ingredients to store-bought sauces is a great way to save time and get dinner on the table any night of the week. Here we take a strongly flavored variety of barbecue sauce and add fruit juice to mellow the flavor. Orange is traditionally very compatible with chipotle chiles and cuts the heat to allow the shrimp to shine. Ready in under 30 minutes, these shrimp are wonderful on a crunchy salad or alongside steamed quinoa and grilled vegetables. Make a batch or two for your next cookout or dinner party as a fabulous appetizer. Your guests will flock to the platter and rave over the smoky sweet flavor of the grilled shrimp. Sprinkle green onions over the finished shrimp for a pop of color and a fresh crunch.
