Step 1

Heat grill or grill pan.

Grill jalapeno until skin is evenly charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to small plastic bag; let stand 10 minutes, until cool.

Meanwhile, combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon each oil and mint, salt, ground red pepper and cumin in small bowl. Grill shrimp until just cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. (If using grill pan, grill shrimp in two batches.) Cut each shrimp crosswise into thirds; transfer to large bowl.

Peel and chop jalapeno; stir into shrimp with remaining ingredients. Serve with chips.
