any one have a recipe for grilled tequila lime shrimp?

Answer 1

Tequila Lime Grilled Shrimp

Serving: 6
Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

2 pounds large shrimp, unpeeled

Marinade
¼ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup tequila
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 teaspoons cumin
salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup olive oil

Garnish
Lime slices
1 bunch watercress


1. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 1 hour. This will prevent them from burning when grilled.

2. Thread the shrimp on the skewers (3 to 4 to each skewer). Lay in a shallow, non-aluminum dish, large enough to hold the skewered shrimp.

3. To prepare the marinade: Whisk together the limejuice, tequila, garlic, shallots, cumin, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking until combined. Taste for seasoning.

4. Pour over the shrimp and marinate for at least ½ and up to 4 hours.

5. Prepare the barbecue for medium-heat grilling.

6. Grill the shrimp on each side for about 4 minutes or to desired doneness. Remove from the grill and take the shrimp off the skewers. Garnish with the fresh watercress and lime slices. Serve with the salsa immediately.

Cook's Notes: This may be prepared 4 hours in advance through step 4 and refrigerated.

Answer 3

This is a great recipe. Just sub shrimp, adjusting cooking and marinating times.


** Tequila Lime Chicken **

1/2 cup gold tequila
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (5 to 6 limes)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts, skin on

Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Answer 4

I like the idea of the jalapenos. Have you ever tried making a mixture of cream cheese, mozzarella and parmesan and filling jalapeno halves, wrap in bacon and grill or bake. They are awesome. Sometimes I have even put a shrimp in each half and wrapped with bacon and grilled.
