Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp 26-30/pound thawed, peeled, with the tails on
  • We like to use frozen because they are already cleaned and ready to go but fresh can be used just be sure to clean them!

Marinade:

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons silver tequila
  • Juice & zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced less if you don't like garlic
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • Pepper to taste I don't add salt since shrimp is salty enough

Instructions
 

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a large Ziploc bag. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator
  • Preheat BBQ/grill to high. Reduce heat to medium-high
  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers or get a grilling basket warmed up and lightly oiled
  • Grill the shrimp for about 4 minutes/side
  • Don't over-cook or the shrimp will get a rubbery texture and you don't want that!
