So last night I finally got the chance to make these. I ate them taco-style but I'll blog about that one later. Today is just for highlighting this delicious simple grilled shrimp.
Tequila and Lime Grilled Shrimp
Fridge:
1 lb of peeled, deveined shrimp, whatever size you prefer
2 tbs cilantro, minced
Counter:
2 garlic cloves, minced
Juice of 2 1/2 limes
1/4 cup tequila
Pantry:
3 tbs olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Tools:
Grill
Mixing bowl
Whisk
Gallon ziplock bag
Tongs
In the bowl, whisk together all the ingredients minus the shrimp. Place the shrimp in the ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Put the ziplock bag in the fridge and marinate for 2-4 hours.
Preheat your grill on medium to high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and place on the hot grill. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side, using tongs to flip them over. You don't want the shrimp to curl up tight- just a loose curled tail (see photo above).
Eat this shrimp as is- or better yet check back tomorrow for our delicious tequila and lime shrimp tacos with a pineapple, corn and avocado relish!! Pura vida. Xo
