Spicy Margarita Shrimp

In this hot, hot weather, I rarely want to turn the oven on, so this Spicy Margarita Shrimp from TK member Damelio called my name because most of the cooking happens in the marinade. Plus I love a good margarita and was intrigued by the idea of using some of those same ingredients to flavor the shrimp!

To make it you will need: cilantro, shrimp, orange, lime, avocado, curry, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, olive oil, tequila, triple sec (if you have it—I didn’t and it still worked wonderfully with just tequila), salt and pepper.

Combine the shrimp with the orange and lime zest in a small bowl.Then add the acidic marinade ingredients to help cook the shrimp. First the orange juice …Along with the olive oil …And tequila and triple sec.Next add all of your spices and give it a stir.
