Happy Memorial Day!


Tequila Lime Shrimp

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 jalapeno, very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
zest of 2 limes
Juice of 2 limes
salt and pepper

Add the shrimp, olive oil, chopped jalapeno, minced garlic, lime zest and tequila to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper then toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
Grill the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, or until opaque. Remove the shrimp to a platter and pour the lime juice over them, toss.
Serve.

 

Very flavorful!  Very simple!  This marinade would work great on a beef or chicken. I would just double the recipe. Shrimp are more delicate and can absorb flavors a lot easier than chicken or beef.

This is a really flavorful yet simple dish.  My boyfriend loves it so much that I’ve made it 3 times in the last week and he is still asking for it!

I’m very excited to be using my new dishes.  They were a very thoughtful Christmas gift.  I think they look great.  Thank you Amy.
