Shrimp

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, tequila, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Roasted Corn Salsa Preparation

  1. 3

    Roast the Corn

    If using fresh corn, grill it on the grill until lightly charred (about 10 minutes). If using frozen corn, sauté it in a pan over medium heat until heated through. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 4

    Combine Salsa Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the grilled shrimp and top with a generous amount of roasted corn salsa. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and additional chopped cilantro over the top for garnish.

  2. 6

    Enjoy!
