Tequila Adobo Bbq Shrimp Food

GRILLED TEQUILA LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. I like to keep the tails on for a more finger-food-friendly serving option.
• Add the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and chile powder to a large bowl. Thoroughly mix to combine all ingredients.
• Add your shrimp to the marinade and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place it in the fridge for 1-4 hours so the shrimp can marinate and soak up all of the flavors.
• Soak some bamboo skewers in water while the shrimp marinates. This prevents them from burning while on the grill (see recipe notes)
• Preheat your charcoal grill. You want a grill that is fairly hot with direct heat.
• Pierce 4-5 shrimp on each skewer (see recipe notes).
• Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. The shrimp will cook very quickly and should form a "C" when fully cooked, not an "O" (see recipe notes).

GRILLED DRUNKEN SHRIMP TACOS

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water, if grilling over an open flame (or use metal skewers).
• Begin by making a quick marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tequila, cumin, paprika, cayenne, garlic, lime juice and a little canola oil. Add the shrimp and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Take the skewers and thread 4 shrimp per skewer.
• Heat up a grill, grill pan or flat top. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook until pink, well-marked and nicely charred, 40 to 50 seconds. Remove from the grill and set on a large platter. Add the cilantro and finish by squeezing the lime wedges for some fresh lime juice all over (while the shrimp are warm they will soak up the lime flavor).
• For the spicy pink mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, Mexican crema, lime juice, agave, chipotle and adobo sauce and some salt in a mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the tacos: Take a large nonstick saute pan (or on a flat grill top) and spray lightly with some nonstick cooking spray. Warm a tortilla for about 30 seconds on both sides, and then lightly coat one side with a sprinkle of Parmesan. Warm through, and then flip so it toasts cheese side down. Allow the cheese to cook and brown about 15 seconds, and then remove from pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• To assemble: Place a skewer of shrimp on a doubled-up tortilla (cheese side up) and remove the skewer to leave the shrimp lined up in a row. Top with the diced tomato, iceberg, Cotija cheese, spicy pink mayo, lime and cilantro. Serve with beans.

Steps:

• Whisk together the lime juice, tequila, olive oil, garlic salt, cumin, and black pepper in a bowl until well blended. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add the shrimp, seal bag and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate 1 to 4 hours before grilling.
• Soak skewers at least 30 minutes in water to prevent burning.
• Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
• Drain and discard marinade from shrimp. Thread shrimp onto prepared skewers, 5 to 6 per skewer.

• When the shrimp are almost done marinating, preheat air fryer to 370 degrees F.
• Drain shrimp from marinade and discard. Carefully place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You can fit about one pound at a time.
• Cook each batch of shrimp for 4 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. They should be plump and just opaque in the center when done.
• Serve shrimp warm with your favorite tortillas, Pineapple Salsa, and other suggested toppings, as desired. Happy taco building!

• Salsa can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let come to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a plastic bag or a bowl.
• Combine all remaining ingredients in a food processor and process for about 30 seconds until well mixed.
• Reserve one cup of the marinade for basting.
• Pour remaining marinade over the chicken breasts. Marinade in the refrigerator for about an hour.
• Grill the chicken breasts for about 20 minutes over a low-medium grill. Turn frequently and baste liberally with the reserved marinade.

• BBQ Adobo Sauce: Add dried chilies (except chipotle pepper) to 1 1/2 cups of boiling water.
• Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Remove chilies and reserve 1/2 cup of chile water.
• Add chile, reserved water, onion, garlic, oregano, cinnamon, and cumin to a blender and puree.
• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan.
• Sautee puree in pan and add vinegar and sugar, bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until thick.
• This should yield 2 cups of Adobo sauce.
• I freeze the extra sauce.
• Mix 1/2 cup of Adobo sauce with 1/2 cup of prepared BBQ sauce.
• Differing the proportions of the mixture will give you varying degrees of spice.
• Use this mixture to baste shrimp and drizzle remaining on shrimp.
