Grilled Tequila Shrimp

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine tequila, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Shrimp

    Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.

  4. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Prepare Lime Cilantro Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine chopped cilantro with lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve hot, drizzled with lime cilantro sauce.
