ACROSS THE BORDER TEQUILA SHRIMP
I used to visit my friend Teresa in Brownsville, TX. We would cross the border to this open air vendor/food stand to eat this. The cook did not or could not hide her ingredients, so we know what was put in this dish. You can serve this with rice, beans, or make it into wraps. The ingredients are very forgiving, so feel free to increase or decrease the amount stated.

Steps:
- Toss shrimp with kosher salt and 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper.
- Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté shrimp, turning, until pink and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat and add tequila, then increase heat to medium-high. Tilt skillet over gas burner to ignite tequila (or ignite with a long match; use caution, as flames may shoot up high). Cook, shaking skillet gently once or twice, until flames subside. Remove from heat and stir in crema. Serve sprinkled with scallion.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Use fresh or frozen shrimp that are peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Make the dip ahead of time: The Texas Tequila Mayo Dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Serve the shrimp with your favorite sides: Peel and eat shrimp are great served with cocktail sauce, lemon wedges, and crackers. You can also serve them with a side of coleslaw, potato salad, or french fries.
Conclusion:
Peel and eat shrimp are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a casual meal at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone.
