Steps:
- Mix the lime and orange juices, zest, tequila, olive oil pepper and salt in a small bowl or jar.
- Add the shrimp and marinade to a large zip-top bag and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 90 minutes.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F.
- While the grill is preheating, thread the shrimp onto skewers, leaving some space in between each shrimp. Depending on the type of skewer you are using you should be able to get 4-6 shrimp per skewer.
- Place the skewers on the hot grill and grill for 2-3 minutes. Flip the shrimp once the first side is pink and the edges on the side facing up are just starting to turn slightly pink. Grill for another 2-3 minutes until shrimp are completely pink and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the shrimp from the grill. You can serve the shrimp on the skewers or remove them and either serve immediately or chill and save them for another time.

MARGARITA GRILLED SHRIMP RECIPE
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!

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.

The shrimp can be marinated up to 3 hours before grilling. The amount of red pepper used can be adjusted according to how hot you like it. The marinade is also great on chicken.
