Try this one:

Tequila Lime Grilled Shrimp


Serves: 6

Ingredients:

2 pounds large shrimp, unpeeled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tequila
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 teaspoons cumin
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
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.

Ceviche is good--char an onion, some peppers (spicy if you like), a couple tomatoes over an open flame. Drop shrimp in boiling water just so they turn a little white-- so they're not raw and transparent. Put them in a bowl with lime juice for about 10 minutes. (the lime "cooks" the shrimp)

Throw the veggies in a blender with a some cilantro, salt to taste. Dump it all in the same bowl together.

Eat it chilled with a spoon :)

the seasoning mix. Stir and cook until the vegetables start to brown, about
4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of the apple juice and the garlic, and stir to
clear the bottom of the skillet of all brown bits. Cook until the apple
juice evaporates completely and the bottom of the skillet dries out, abut
12 to 13 minutes. Stir the vegetables, spread them out, and cook 2 or 3

sweetness. Add the tomatoes and the remaining seasoning, mix, scrape the
bottom of the skillet completely, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato
sauce, the stock, and the remaining apple juice. Scrape the bottom of the
skillet, bring to a boil, and cook about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the shrimp and

Gently fry some onions and add fresh tomatoes; add black pepper, garlic, a little thyme (plus rosemary and/or bayleaf if that appeals). Keep warm.

Cook your shrimp in the pan and when cooked, flambe them in whiskey. Quickly add the vegetable mixture and some cream - cook gently until thickened but not curdled and serve with rice.

(beware - not everybody likes whisky, but for those who do this is delicious)

Holding shrimp flat with the palm of one hand, insert one bamboo skewer one third of the way from one end. Insert another skewer parallel to the first, one third of the way from the other end, so as to create a flat panel of shrimp that can be turned easily.
