Grilled Margarita Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons tequila
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
Instructions
1
Combine the protein of your choice, specifically shrimp in this case, with olive oil, a fragrant herb called cilantro, the juice of a lime, minced garlic, a type of liquor known as tequila, a spicy pepper called cayenne, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the shrimp for 30 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
3
Prepare your grill by preheating it over high heat and lightly brushing the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
4
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto skewers, discarding any remaining liquid.
5
Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they change color and become pink, flipping them every 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
