How To Make jalapeno-tequila marinated shrimp
-
1Thread shrimp onto 6 (10-12")metal or bamboo skewers. (If using bamboo, soak in water 20 min.) Then insert 2 skewers into each shrimp to keep them from slipping. Arrange kebobs in shallow baking dish. OR you can skip this step completely and use a grilling basket (or foil) instead.
-
2In a food processor, combine cilantro, chiles, onion and 3 garlic cloves; finely chop. Gradually add all remaining marinade ingredients, processing until bright green paste forms. Pour minture over shrimp. Cover; refrigerate 30-60 min., turning several times to marinate evenly.
-
3Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 garlic cloves and cilantro; cook 2 minutes or until garlic just begins to soften, stirring constantly.
-
4When ready to serve, heat grill or broiler. Drain kebobs and discard marinade. Place on grill over med heat or charcoal or broil 4-6" from heat 2-3 mins on each side or until shrimp turn pink, basting with garlic-cilantro butter. Serve with lime wedges.
