Tequilla Lime Grilled Shrimp Recipes

GRILLED TEQUILA LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. I like to keep the tails on for a more finger-food-friendly serving option.
• Add the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and chile powder to a large bowl. Thoroughly mix to combine all ingredients.
• Add your shrimp to the marinade and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place it in the fridge for 1-4 hours so the shrimp can marinate and soak up all of the flavors.
• Soak some bamboo skewers in water while the shrimp marinates. This prevents them from burning while on the grill (see recipe notes)
• Preheat your charcoal grill. You want a grill that is fairly hot with direct heat.
• Pierce 4-5 shrimp on each skewer (see recipe notes).
• Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. The shrimp will cook very quickly and should form a "C" when fully cooked, not an "O" (see recipe notes).

HONEY-TEQUILA GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat an indoor grill plate over high heat.
• Whisk together the honey, clementine juice, cumin, chipotle powder, salt, lime zest and juice and 2 ounces of the tequila in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature
• Set a strainer over a bowl and drain the shrimp completely, reserving the marinade for later. Grill the shrimp on both sides until super charred and no longer opaque in the middle, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the reserved marinade and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp and stir to coat in the sauce. Turn off the flame, then add the remaining 2 ounces tequila. Turn the flame back on to medium high and carefully tilt the pan to ignite the tequila (you can also use a match or lighter to flambe the tequila off heat). Once the flames subside, plate and serve.

TEQUILA-GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a medium nonreactive bowl, stir together shrimp, tequila, lime juice, and orange juice; season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Grill shrimp until opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a platter and top with jalapeno. Serve shrimp with lime wedges.

TEQUILA-LIME GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, mix together the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, margarita mix, honey, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• 2. Skewer the shrimp; about 4-5 on each skewer. Place skewers in a dish long enough for them to lay flat.
• 3. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, cover and place in refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
• 4. Heat grill to a medium-low heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and serve.
• 5. These go great with your own coleslaw recipe or a nice rice medley.
