Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ½ lb shrimp
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
  • about a teaspoon of lime juice
  • 1 shot of tequila
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • few dashes of pepper
  • (measurements aren't really important here - just work with what you have leftover)
  • Diced Roma tomatos
  • chopped white onion
  • chopped cilantro
  • lime juice
  • fresh corn
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
Instructions
  1. **I also made this with about 1 ½ lbs of shrimp and doubled the ingredients. If you are going to marinade it for a longer period of time, decrease the amount of tequila because the flavor can become overpowering.
  2. Marinade: In a large bowl, mix the shrimp, honey, cilantro, lime juice, tequila, chili powder, garlic salt and pepper and let rest for at least 30 minutes. If you plan on marinading for a long time, decrease the amount of tequila.
  3. For the Chipotle Lime Crema: In a medium sized bowl, mix together the sour cream, greek yogurt, mayo, 2 teaspoons of chilis in adobo sauce (I scooped around the chilis), sugar, lime juice, salt and pepper. Feel free to add a splash of milk or heavy cream (not necessary but makes it easier to pour)
  4. (measurements aren't really important here - just work with what you have leftover)
  5. For the Pico: In a medium sized bowl, gently stir together the diced Roma tomatoes, chopped white onion, finely chopped cilantro, lime juice, and fresh corn. Season to taste.
