Ingredients

2	teaspoons	olive oil
1	teaspoon	butter
2	each	garlic	cloves, minced
1 1/2	pound	shrimp	medium, peeled, deveined
2	tablespoons	honey
2-3	tablespoons	tequila

Directions

Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.

Add the honey and tequila and cook for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes: Shrimp makes the perfect entree for after-work dinner parties: It must be cooked fast or it toughens up and loses its juiciness. If you're a garlic fan, you might consider adding even more of the fragrant bulb. The savory garlic here keeps the honey from making the dish too sweet, and the tequila adds a welcome punch. Add a bit of crushed red pepper for a spicy-sweet sensation.

Very quick and easy, but a little too sweet...next time I'll use less honey.
