 "Even my husband, who is rather particular about what he eats (in a good way!) proclaimed this delicious! Make sure you get the ingredients for the Cilantro-Lime Sour Cream, as they won't show up in your shopping list automatically because of how the recipe is posted. I had to run back to the store to get sour cream - but boy was it worth the extra trip!" - Hilpol

    We all liked this. I doubled the recipe since I have two teenage boys. We did not think there was too much garlic, and I doubled the cilantro in the marinade, as well as adding lots more of the chipotle peppers. Also made double the sour cream sauce. We used white corn tortillas which helps to keep the shrimp flavor prominent.

    Used sautéed red and orange bell peppers rather than chipotle peppers, added 2 tablespoons of tequila in the marinade (highly suggest reducing the sauce down during the cooking though), and substituted Greek yogurt in the dressing, but loved this. Will definitely make again.

    I usually reduce the garlic in both parts of the recipe if the cloves are large. We love garlic in my house so it's not usually a problem. I also keep a freezer bag full of red and green chili peppers. I buy a bunch, and freeze them whole. It's the next best thing when they are out of stock at the grocery store!

    Used corn tortillas instead of flour. Loved it!

    This recipe is fantastic! My kids loved it, too! I left the chilis out of the marinade simply because I didn't have any at the house, but it was still delicious. Also, I served them on white corn tortillas since they hold up better than flour when the contents are wetter. Wonderful recipe!!

    Follow up to my previous review, I would cut the garlic in half and maybe not include it in the sour cream mixture unless you want to be breathing garlic, I did love the recipe
