1. Begin by marinating the shrimp: In a medium bowl, mix together melted butter, finely chopped chipotle peppers, lime zest, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
2. While the shrimp marinate, prepare the avocado mango salsa by combining diced avocado, mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, discarding the excess marinade.
4. Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan and cook for 2 3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is opaque and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute before serving.
5. Serve the sizzling smoky chipotle lime grilled shrimp skewers with a generous dollop of avocado mango salsa on the side.
