Right out of the gate, I will tell you my experience making this dish and you can do with it what you will. For me, this was one of those foodie experiments that turned out to be a lot of fun to make (as the pictures indicate), and totally wasn't worth all of the work. At the end of the dish, I can say it truly was delicious, but I didn't taste a lick of the "margarita," just a lot of good grilled shrimp flavor. Hmmmm....
~Ingredients~
1 pound of raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 Tbsp. fresh squeezed lime juice
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. tequila (and maybe a splash or two more)
3 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
Desired amount of cooked rice
~Instructions~
Combine the garlic....
Shove some limes down your dress and party like a rock star....
Get serious and squeeze the lime juice into the same bowl as the garlic....
Pound some of the tequila because you can....
Now put the bottle down and combine that with all of the other ingredients in the bowl....
Toss the shrimp in it and let marinate. I marinated it for an hour and a half.
Take a picture of your awesome coals you have burning on the Hibachi because you're a nerd....
Take a picture of you with your shrimp because the tequila has kicked in and now you think you're best friends....
Serve on a bed of rice, and voila!
Love it!!!!
