Tequila-lime grilled shrimp skewers

I love shrimp, so I'm always looking for new ways to eat it. Decided to mix up a great marinade and see how that went. It went amazing and was a hit with my friends.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 c Julio Cesar Chavez Blanco tequila
  • 1/4 c lime juice
  • 1/4 c margarita mix (no alcohol)
  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • dash(es) salt and pepper
  • 6 skewers

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together the last 6 ingredients. Set aside.
Skewer the shrimp; about 4-5 on each skewer. Place skewers in a dish long enough for them to lay flat.
Pour the marinade over the shrimp, cover and place in refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
Heat grill to a medium-low heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove and serve.

These go great with your own coleslaw recipe or a nice rice medley, or both!
