MARGARITAS AND SHRIMP ALL AROUND



Margaritas and Shrimp All Around image

First prepare the Margarita and put in the refrigerator to keep cold, then work on the shrimp. The recipe works best if you sample the margarita as you prepare the spicy shrimp. Be sure to leave at least a 1/4 cup for the shrimp or you will have to make more margaritas. Depending on how much you have sampled you may want someone else to tend to the grill. And, as always, don't skimp on the quality of tequila. Oh, and the shrimp is phenomenal!

Margarita Shrimp Cocktail Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 19

SHRIMP:
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp with shells (26 to 30 shrimp)
4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups dry white wine or nonalcoholic wine
2 tablespoons lime juice
5 black peppercorns
Handful of fresh cilantro
MARGARITA SAUCE:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons tequila, if desired
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Dash of red pepper sauce

Steps:

  • Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails intact. Set shells aside for the stock. Using a small, pointed knife or shrimp deveiner, make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp, then wash out the vein. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat shrimp shells, 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt to boiling over high heat. Add wine, 2 tablespoons lime juice, the peppercorns and handful of cilantro. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 30 minutes. Strain stock through a strainer into a large bowl and discard shells, peppercorns and cilantro. Return stock to same pan and heat to boiling over high heat. Add shrimp; remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 8 to 10 minutes until shrimp are pink and firm. Meanwhile, fill large bowl half full with ice and water. Strain stock through strainer and plunge shrimp into ice bath. Shrimp can be refrigerated in ice water for several hours. In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. (Don't use aluminum bowl because the acid in the sauce may react.) Stir in cooked shrimp to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 3 hours. Serve cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tequila. A good margarita starts with a good tequila. Look for a 100% agave tequila that is smooth and flavorful. If you're not sure what to choose, ask your local liquor store for recommendations.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice is essential for a margarita. Bottled or canned lime juice will not give you the same flavor and it can make your margarita taste artificial.
  • Sweeten your margarita to taste. Some people like their margaritas tart, while others prefer them sweet. Add simple syrup or agave nectar to taste until you reach the desired sweetness.
  • Don't overshake your margarita. Over-shaking your margarita will make it watery and dilute the flavors.
  • Serve your margarita over ice. Margaritas are best served over ice so that they are nice and cold. You can also rim the glass with salt or sugar for a festive touch.
  • Experiment with different flavors. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making margaritas. Try adding different fruits, herbs, or spices to create your own unique margarita recipe.

Conclusion:

Margaritas and shrimp are a classic combination that is perfect for any party or gathering. These recipes are sure to please everyone, from margarita lovers to shrimp enthusiasts. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
