Instructions
- Shrimp can be grilled with or without skewers. If using wood skewers, start by soaking them in water. Place shrimp in a wide bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients from olive oil through black pepper. Pour marinade over shrimp and gently stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, folding gently halfway through. Drizzle tequila over shrimp, if desired, and fold to combine. If using skewers, thread shrimp onto skewers, with a folded slice of lime in between shrimp. Heat grill to medium high. Set shrimp on grates and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or just until shrimp are no longer opaque and have some nice char. Place shrimp on a platter and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
