• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 small Jalapeño, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Tequila
• 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the skillet, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they begin to turn pink.

Step 5

Flip the shrimp and pour in the tequila. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol while coating the shrimp.
