Ingredients:

1/2 cup tequila - (125ml)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice - (60ml)
6 tbl frozen concentrated orange juice - (90ml)
1 tbl vegetable oil - (15ml)
1 1/2 lb peeled medium shrimp - (750grams)
Soaked bamboo skewers
3 x fresh jalapeno, cut into 8 small pieces
1 x large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch squares
Kosher salt or other coarse salt
Minced fresh cilantro
Lime wedges

Instructions:

For marinade, combine tequila, lime juice, orange juice and vegetable oil in a small bowl.

Place shrimp into a shallow bowl and pour marinade of top. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to a high temperature, 1 or 2 seconds with the hand test. Drain shrimp from marinade and discard the marinade.

Slide a shrimp onto skewer; add a piece of jalapeno and bell pepper to rest in the curve of the shrimp. Add other shrimp to skewer and again add jalapeno and bell pepper to rest in the curve of the shrimp. Assemble remaining shrimp with the same process and sprinkle them lightly with coarse salt.

Grill the skewers uncovered over a high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side or until shrimp are just opaque with lightly brown edges. The jalapeno and bell peppers should remain a bit crisp.

To serve, rim margarita glasses with coarse salt and pile skewered shrimp, jalapeno and bell peppers over glasses. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Serve and enjoy!
