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!

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before diving into the stir-fry, take time to prep your ingredients. This includes deveining and cleaning the shrimp, chopping the veggies, and measuring out the sauce ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients greatly impacts the final dish. Opt for fresh shrimp, crisp veggies, and flavorful sauce ingredients. It's worth investing in good-quality ingredients for an exceptional stir-fry.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the margarita sauce not only adds flavor but also tenderizes it. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour for maximum flavor.
  • High Heat: Stir-fries thrive on high heat, so ensure your wok or skillet is adequately heated before adding ingredients. High heat helps sear the shrimp and veggies, creating a delightful charred flavor.
  • Stir Constantly: Stir-frying is all about constant stirring. Keep the ingredients moving throughout the cooking process to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  • Sauce Consistency: Aim for a slightly thickened sauce that coats the shrimp and veggies nicely. If the sauce is too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (mix equal parts cornstarch and water) to thicken it. Conversely, if it's too thick, add a splash of water or broth to thin it out.
