How to Make Zesty Margarita Shrimp
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and gently stir to coat completely.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the shrimp to marinate and absorb the delicious flavors.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Remove shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Arrange shrimp in a single layer on the prepared broiler pan.
- Broil the shrimp 4 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn pink and opaque throughout. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge, if desired.
