Grilled Margarita Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Stir shrimp, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, tequila, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate shrimp in marinade for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove shrimp from bowl and thread onto skewers; discard marinade.
• Cook on the preheated grill until shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• First preheat the grill to medium.
• Add all the marinade ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the shrimp and scallops and set the bowl aside. Next, add all the salsa ingredients to a serving bowl and mix well.
• Remove the shrimp and scallops from the marinade. Put a scallop in the "U" (curved part of the shrimp) of the shrimp and skewer, first through the scallop and then through the shrimp. Arrange the skewers on the hot grill and cook approximately 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on 1 side, then turn and grill for 2 1/2 minutes on the other side. When done, remove the skewers from the grill to a serving dish. Drizzle with some extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with pink salt. Serve with the salsa and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix lime peel, lime juice, garlic, tequila and salt; add shrimp. Seal bag, squeezing out air; turn to coat shrimp. Let stand 10 minutes to marinate. Drain shrimp; discard marinade.
• On each of 8 (12-inch) metal skewers, alternately thread shrimp, zucchini and bell pepper, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece. Brush with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Carefully brush grill rack with additional oil. Place kabobs on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are pink and vegetables are crisp-tender.

Steps:

• Combine all of the Awesome Margarita ingredients in a large pitcher and stir until the sugar dissolves. Refrigerate.
• Preheat broiler or grill.
• Put some crushed ice in a glass and sample margarita.
• In a glass mixing bowl, mix a 1/4 cup of the Margarita with the oil and chipotle. Season with salt and pepper, add shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand for 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, Put some crushed ice in a glass and sample chilling margarita.
• Drain the shrimp and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Check glass to see if it is in need of refill.
• If you are grilling the shrimp, put 2 shrimp on each of the 16 skewers and grill shrimp for 3 minutes, turning once. Or if you are using your oven, broil the shrimp as close to the heat as possible for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until opaque and cooked through. Put 2 shrimp on each of 16 skewers and serve warm or at room temperature with lime wedges.
• Go ahead and refill your glass -- you deserve it!

Steps:

• Shell and devein shrimp. Butterfly shrimp by splitting them partly down the back, starting at the head and stopping short of the tail. Flatten them lightly. Place shrimp in a bowl and add lime juice, salt and pepper. Let stand briefly until ready to cook.
• Peel the avocado, and cut it into half-inch slices. Discard pit. Use as soon as possible or the flesh will discolor.
• Heat butter in a skillet; when it is quite hot but not smoking add shrimp, stirring rapidly. Cook about two minutes. Sprinkle with shallots and cook, stirring, about 10 seconds. Carefully add the tequila, which may flare up. Add half-and-half and cook over high heat about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add avocado, and cook just until the slices are piping hot.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and avocado pieces to hot serving dishes. Bring the sauce to a full rolling boil for about 1 1/2 minutes and add the chopped cilantro. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and avocado. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Sample the tequila to make sure it has not gone bad! lol.
• Mix all marinade ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add shrimp, cover and let marinate in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Sample the tequila AGAIN to make sure it has not gone bad since you tasted it in step 1! lol.
• Remove shrimp and discard marinade. Thread shrimp onto skewers or just put them in a grill wok or basket and grill for 5-6 minutes. Turn when they begin to turn pink on the bottom. Do NOT overcook.
• Remove from grill and serve immediately.
• BUT NOT before you SAMPLE the tequila AGAIN! hehehe.
• Enjoy!
