TEQUILA LIME SHRIMP ZOODLES
This tangy shrimp is a smart way to cut carbs without sacrificing flavor. If you don't have a spiralizer, use thinly julienned zucchini to get a similar effect. -Brigette Schroeder, Yorkville, Illinois

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine tequilla, lime juice and honey. Bring just to a boil to melt honey and evaporate most of the alcohol. Set aside.
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add lemon, onion, bay leaves and peppercorns to boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add salad shrimp and simmer until shrimp are thawed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain shrimp and place in bowl. Add Tequilla mixture, cilantro and jalapeno to shrimp and toss.
- Chill in refrigerator, covered until ready to use or for a quick chill, place bowl over ice. Serve on platter with endive spears, crackers or alone with toothpicks for spearing.
Tips:
- Use fresh, succulent shrimp. Frozen shrimp can work in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will steam instead of sear, resulting in a soggy, bland dish.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy, so keep a close eye on them while they cook.
- Use a good quality tequila. The tequila you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish, so don't skimp on it.
- Add the lime juice and cilantro at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their bright, fresh flavor.
- Serve immediately. Tequila lime shrimp is best served hot off the skillet, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Tequila lime shrimp is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful tequila-lime sauce and then served with a variety of dipping sauces. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
