MARGARITA GRILLED SHRIMP RECIPE



Margarita Grilled Shrimp Recipe image

Jumbo shrimp are marinated in the flavors found in many Mexican dishes. A splash of tequila is included for the margarita effect, but you can certainly leave it out if you prefer - this dish is awesome either way!

Time 2h36m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb. raw extra jumbo shrimp (16-20 per pound), peeled and deveined
1/3 c. olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 tsp. minced jalapeno
1 T. brown sugar
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. tequila, optional
thin slices of fresh lime, if placing shrimp on skewers
chopped cilantro
wedges of fresh lime, for squeezing over top of grilled shrimp

Steps:

  • Shrimp can be grilled with or without skewers. If using wood skewers, start soaking them in water.
  • Place shrimp in a wide shallow bowl and set aside.
  • In a small bowl with high sides, combine all ingredients from olive oil through black pepper. Use an immersion blender to completely process until there are no sizable pieces. Or use a food processor or blender. Pour marinade over shrimp and gently stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, folding gently about halfway through.
  • Drizzle tequila over the shrimp, if desired, and gently fold to combine. If using skewers, thread shrimp onto skewers, with a folded slice of lime in between shrimp (see skewer photos in post).
  • Heat grill to medium-high. Make sure grates are clean, and then oil them well. Set shrimp on grates and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or just until shrimp are no longer opaque and have some nice char. Smaller shrimp will take less time. Place shrimp on a platter and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the top.

MARGARITA SHRIMP



Margarita Shrimp image

I LOVE Margaritas and I LOVE Shrimp! So, why not combine the two? Remember to serve with a BIG Margarita to drink! Tart, sweet, spicy, lime, shrimp and TEQUILA! Oh ya! Updated after Culinary's review and wonderful suggestion to serve this with more of the same! So save some limes and salt to finish it off if you like! Oh and another Margarita would be good too please! lol Serves 4 as Main dish and generous 8 as an appy- more if you are not so generous! lol!

1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
