Directions
- Combine lime juice, tequila, oil, sliced chiles, salt and shrimp in medium bowl; toss to continue.
Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Make Cocktail Sauce: Combine all ingredients in small bowl. Makes ¾ cup.
Heat grill. Thread shrimp on 6 skewers. Grill over medium-hot heat 2 to 3 minutes per side, until opaque.
Serve with Cocktail Sauce.
Makes 4 servings.
Shrimp takes only minutes to grill, so have the rest of your menu ready--you'll want to dig in as soon as the shrimp is done.
