Off The Boat: Grilled Drunken Cilantro & Lime Shrimp

June 30, 2020 By Joe Denly Leave a Comment

I think it’s just part of living in Texas that one must go to the gulf coast shoreline at some point during the hot summer months to catch a whiff of the salty beach air. We have been to a few spots over the years but hadn’t made to the popular Port Aransas coast until about a week ago. The salty air, warm breezy nights and seaweed shores is some what relaxing but makes one (at least me anyway) crave fresh off-the-boat seafood. While we were in Port A, we enjoyed a few fresh seafood meals but upon our return home I was still wanting for more. The beauty of a “drunken” recipe is that one must taste test the ingredients –– in this case, tequila –– just to be sure it’s going to “work.” *hick* Grilled Drunken Cilantro & Lime Shrimp can be served on many-a-hot summer nights and without a trip to the beach unless of course you need it.

Ingredients
  • 2 Pounds fresh gulf shrimp peeled
  • 1 Cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 Cup tequila
  • 1 Medium lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 Teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine tequila, cilantro, lime, olive oil, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk together until well combined. Pour a 1/4 cup of the mixture into a small bowl and set aside. Add fresh peeled shrimp into the large bowl mixture and gently toss together until well coated. Place into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinate.
  2. After 30 minutes, heat the grill to a medium high temperature. Skewer the shrimp (depending on the size, if needed) and place onto the grill for 2-4 minutes or until the first side has turned pink and slightly golden. Flip skewers over and cook the other side for another 2-4 minutes or until shrimp is pink and that side is slightly golden. Remove from the grill and either brush or toss the shrimp with the remaining sauce then serve.
