With plenty of cilantro and basil in my garden and a bottle of tequila in the pantry, I knew just what to do to these shrimp. I think the crushed red pepper really gave it an extra kick! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons orange juice |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
2 tablespoons tequila |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first eight ingredients. Add the shrimp; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Thread shrimp onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
3. Grill shrimp, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, turning once. Yield: 4 servings.
