How to Make Margaritas And Shrimp All Around

  1. **Make the Margaritas:** In a large pitcher, combine tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. **Chill:** Refrigerate the margaritas for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
  3. **Prep the Shrimp:** In a glass mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the chilled margarita, olive oil, and minced chipotle peppers.
  4. **Marinate:** Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  5. **Preheat:** Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  6. **Grill or Broil:** Thread 2 shrimp onto each skewer. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning once, or broil for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  7. **Serve:** Remove the shrimp from the grill or broiler. Serve immediately on skewers with lime wedges. Enjoy with your remaining margaritas!
