Tequila Lime Grilled Shrimp Skewers 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).

MARGARITA GRILLED SHRIMP RECIPE

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.
