Tequila Grilled 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 TEQUILA-LIME SHRIMP

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.
• Cook, uncovered, on preheated grill until shrimp turn pink, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with lime wedges for garnish.

Steps:

• In a medium nonreactive bowl, stir together shrimp, tequila, lime juice, and orange juice; season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Grill shrimp until opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a platter and top with jalapeno. Serve shrimp with lime wedges.

HONEY-TEQUILA GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat an indoor grill plate over high heat.
• Whisk together the honey, clementine juice, cumin, chipotle powder, salt, lime zest and juice and 2 ounces of the tequila in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature
• Set a strainer over a bowl and drain the shrimp completely, reserving the marinade for later. Grill the shrimp on both sides until super charred and no longer opaque in the middle, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the reserved marinade and simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp and stir to coat in the sauce. Turn off the flame, then add the remaining 2 ounces tequila. Turn the flame back on to medium high and carefully tilt the pan to ignite the tequila (you can also use a match or lighter to flambe the tequila off heat). Once the flames subside, plate and serve.

ONE-PAN TEQUILA SHRIMP

Steps:

• Put the shrimp, tequila, agave, zest and juice of 2 limes and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, toss together and marinate at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat until smoking.
• Cut the remaining 1 lime in half crosswise and set aside. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later, and cook in batches until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet and set over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons butter and swirl until melted. Add the bread slices and lime halves, cut-side down, and cook until the bread is golden brown and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the bread and limes to a plate.
• Strain the reserved marinade into a medium bowl and discard the solids. Put the marinade liquid and minced jalapeños in the skillet and cook over medium heat until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and swirl until melted. Add the shrimp and toss together until coated.
• To plate, top the bread with the shrimp mixture, garnish with the jalapeño slices and fresh herbs and enjoy!
