What's For Dinner Wednesday: Tequila Shrimp

Ingredients:

• Olive oil
• White onion, minced
• Garlic
• Salt
• Uncooked shrimp, peeled & de-veined
• 1/2 cup tequila
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

• Heat oil on medium heat, cook onion and garlic until translucent.
• Add shrimp and cook until pink. Remove pan from heat, add tequila. Return to heat and cook until alcohol has evaporated and shrimp are fully cooked.
• Remove from heat and add lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This shrimp is so versatile that it can be paired with a variety of sides. I have usually gone with brown rice or orzo. A few slices of avocado also brightens it up.  The recipe itself is very simple and takes almost no time to prepare. And one more note, if you can, I would recommend buying shrimp already peeled and de-veined, definitely worth the extra dollars to not have to mess with that.
