A Mexican twist on the traditional Spanish tapas - with olive oil, lime and Corona Extra. For optimum results: Serve with ice cold Corona Extra. Obviously, this is a recipe that I got from Corona! Enjoy!

Steps:

I was skeptical about using Corona beer in a shrimp dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. The beer added a subtle flavor that really complemented the shrimp.
