For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the shrimp in a little lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before wrapping them in pancetta. If you don't have a grill, you can also pan-fry the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat. Adjust the amount of chipotle pepper to your spice preference. For a milder vinaigrette, use half a pepper or remove the seeds. Make the cilantro oil and chipotle vinaigrette ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3 days. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the vibrant cilantro oil: In a blender, combine the cilantro, canola oil, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Puree until smooth and emulsified. (5 minutes)
02
StepSet aside in a bowl or bottle, ready to drizzle a burst of freshness. (2 minutes)
03
StepCraft the smoky chipotle vinaigrette: In the same blender (no need to rinse!), combine the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and garlic clove. (5 minutes)
04
StepPuree until smooth. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the canola oil until the vinaigrette is creamy and emulsified. Season to taste with salt. (7 minutes)
05
StepPrepare the grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
06
StepWrap the shrimp: Cut each pancetta slice in half. Wrap a half slice of pancetta snugly around each shrimp, ensuring the shrimp is mostly covered. (15 minutes)
07
StepGrill the shrimp: Place the pancetta-wrapped shrimp on the preheated grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the pancetta is crispy and golden brown, and the shrimp is opaque and cooked through. (6 minutes)
08
StepDrain and plate: Remove the grilled shrimp from the grill and drain on paper towels to remove any excess grease. (3 minutes)
09
StepTo serve: Arrange the cooked shrimp artfully on a warmed serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle generously with the smoky chipotle vinaigrette and the vibrant cilantro oil. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
