MARGARITA SHRIMP

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!

MARGARITA SHRIMP COCKTAIL RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails intact. Set shells aside for the stock. Using a small, pointed knife or shrimp deveiner, make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp, then wash out the vein. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat shrimp shells, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt to boiling over high heat. Add wine, 2 tablespoons lime juice, the peppercorns and handful of cilantro. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 30 minutes. Strain stock through a strainer into a large bowl and discard shells, peppercorns and cilantro. Return stock to same pan and heat to boiling over high heat. Add shrimp; remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes until shrimp are pink and firm. Meanwhile, fill large bowl half full with ice and water. Strain stock through strainer and plunge shrimp into ice bath. Shrimp can be refrigerated in ice water for several hours. In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. (Don't use aluminum bowl because the acid in the sauce may react.) Stir in cooked shrimp to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 3 hours. Serve cold.

MARGARITA SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• 1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
• 2. Toss in tomatoes, onions, mango, and shrimp.
• 3. Chop avocado and toss with lime juice. Leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. This will slow down the browning process of the avocado.
• 4. Add avocado lime juice to mixture and toss.
• 5. Serve with tortilla chips.
• 6. **NOTE** For a very impressive presentation, I like to serve this in a margarita glass placed on top of a dessert sized plate with some of the avocado mixed in and some sprinkled on top. A lime wedge on the edge of the glass and tortilla chips around the plate. Makes a great appetizer for a dinner party or a great dip for a big party!
