Quite possibly our best shrimp recipe to date. (And by that we mean it's our favorite so far. We don't want to buy it daisies and take it to a movie.) Ingredients: | |
| 8 oz. | raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed |
| 2 | Roma tomatoes, chopped |
| 1 small | onion, sliced |
| 3 tbsp. (1 1/2 oz. or 1 shot) | tequila |
| 2 tbsp. | lime juice |
| 2 tbsp. | coarsely chopped fresh cilantro |
| 1 tsp. | minced garlic |
| 1/4 tsp. | chili powder |
| 1/4 tsp. | salt |
Directions:
Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Carefully add tequila to the pan and stir. (It's unlikely it will flare up, but be cautious, just in case.) Cover the pan and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes, until shrimp are nearly opaque. Add tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, and salt, and mix well. Stirring occasionally, cook until tomatoes have softened and shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Enjoy!

HG Alternative! The cilantro works reeeeally well here (believe it!), but if that herb's a non-negotiable for you, just skip it or swap it out for chopped scallions.
