Reduce heat and add tequila, then increase heat to medium-high. Tilt skillet over gas burner to ignite tequila (or ignite with a long match; use caution, as flames may shoot up high). Cook, shaking skillet gently once or twice, until flames subside. Remove from heat and stir in crema. Serve sprinkled with scallion.

TEQUILA ADOBO BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• Shrimp Marinade and Grilling: In a glass bowl, stir together Tequila, lime juice, garlic and pepper.
• Marinate shrimp for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.

• Remove shrimp from marinade, and wrap shrimp in bacon pieces.
• Thread shrimp on skewers and lightly sprinkle with seasoning salt.
• Grill shrimp over medium hot charcoal fire, basting with Adobo BBQ sauce.
• Turn shrimp every 2 minutes and continue to baste.
• The shrimp should cook for about 10 minutes.
• Bacon will be cooked, but not crisped.
• Serve immediately and drizzle with additional sauce.
• 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.

• Use this mixture to baste shrimp and drizzle remaining on shrimp.

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!

CAMARONES EMBARAZADOS (ADOBO GRILLED SHRIMP)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the whole tomatoes, guajillo chiles, chiles de árbol and garlic cloves, and cover with water by an inch or two. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the tomatoes are very soft and their skins start to break, 8 to 10 minutes. (The chiles should rehydrate and plump up.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the solids to a blender, and add the scallions, oregano, allspice, cumin, thyme, vinegar, butter, Mexican chocolate and salt. (Discard the cooking water.) Purée until completely smooth, then scrape the adobo into a large bowl and let cool completely.
• Place the shrimp in the bowl with the cooled adobo and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• When ready to eat, take the shrimp out of the refrigerator. Prepare an outdoor charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and place on a sheet pan. If using head-on shrimp or shell-on shrimp, insert the skewer where the head meets the body, thread the skewer through the body while straightening it out, then push it out through the tail end. If using peeled shrimp, thread the skewer through the tops and bottoms of the shrimp without passing it through the length of the bodies. Once all are skewered, generously douse the shrimp with more adobo (reserve some for serving) and sprinkle a bit of salt on top.
• Scrape the remaining adobo into a small saucepan or skillet and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape into a serving bowl and set aside.
• Set the skewers on the hot grill grate. For head-on shrimp, cook, flipping once, until the shells have crisped, browned and achieved some charring, and the bodies have cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. For headless shell-on shrimp, grill for about 3 minutes per side, and for peeled shrimp, about 2 minutes per side. (If using a gas grill, close the lid between flips.)
• Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve with the reserved adobo sauce and lime wedges. Let everyone eat by dipping the shrimp in the adobo sauce and squeezing fresh lime juice on top. The shrimp can be eaten in their entirety - heads, shells, tails and everything in between - or peeled.
