Ingredients:
1/4 cup gold tequila or 1/4 cup white tequila
1/2 teaspoon graterd lime peel
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cilantro or 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh chopped
1 tablespoon honey
pepper
1 lb shrimp ( 25 per lb size)
3 teaspoons orange-flavored liqueur ( more, your choice)
2 large red onions, thinly sliced
salt
Directions:
In a pyrex/glass bowl mix the tequilla, lime peel, lime juice, water, honey, and pepper Pour tequilla mixture into a non stick fry pan.
Add shrimp and cook over medium high heat until the shrimp are pink 3-4 minutes Transfer shrimp to a bowl and keep warm.
Bring cooking liquid to a boil and reduce to 1/3 cup.
Remove pan from the heat and stir in the liquor (don’t do this too quickly you want the alcohol to evaporate but still keep the flavor) While you are doing all this (or ahead of time) thinly slice the red onions and arrange the onions in a single layer on a platter, spoon the shrimp and liquid over the onions.
Season to taste, garnish with sprigs of cilantro& lime wedges, if you wish.
