ORANGE-CHIPOTLE SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a zip-top bag, combine one-third of the garlic, the olive oil, a large pinch of salt and pepper, and the shrimp. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting the excess drip back into the bag; discard the marinade. Place the shrimp on the hot grill pan and cook until opaque on both sides and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove the shrimp to a bowl, add the orange glaze, cilantro and lime juice, and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with baguette slices.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

• Rub the chicken thighs with the remaining 1 teaspoon of the oil. Sprinkle all over with the seasoning rub.
• When the oven is preheated, use an oven mitt to carefully remove the hot sheet pan from the oven. Spray the sheet pan with cooking spray. Spread the vegetables in an even layer on the baking sheet, leaving spaces for the chicken thighs. Nestle the chicken thighs among the vegetables.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Stir the vegetables and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and registers 165℉ on an instant read thermometer, about 5 minutes more.
