Instructions

Tequila Lime Shrimp

Peel and devein shrimp, leaving the tails on.  Place onto a dish with a paper towel to dry them.  Once dry, transfer them to a small baking dish.  Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil.   Season with S&P and add the chopped garlic and sprinkle the cilantro all over the shrimp and mix well.  Cover the dish and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Marinating Shrimp

Turn grill on to medium-high heat.  While the grill is heating, remove the shrimp from the fridge.  Pour the tequila over the shrimp and add the lime zest and juice, mix well.  As soon as the grill is heated up start placing the shrimp onto skewers and place onto a dish.  You can pour the marinade over top of the skewers.    Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for approx. a few minutes per side, only until the shrimp start to turn pink in color.

Grilling Shrimp

Remove the shrimp from the grill, place onto a platter.  To garnish, sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro over top with a few lime wedges and serve.   This shrimp is great on its own.  It also goes great over some pasta or a side of rice or even some grilled veggies.

I love to make some homemade Ceviche with this shrimp too.  Click here for my recipe:  Shrimp Ceviche
