MARGARITA SHRIMP SALAD
This is one of our favorite summer salads- it makes a lovely "light" dinner meal and you don't have to heat up the kitchen! I've also used a combination of red, green and yellow bell peppers to add more color to the salad. Prep time does not include marinating time. Originally from "Savor the Southwest" cookbook.

Steps:
- Shrimp: Combine the cilantro, garlic, chili, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and cumin in a nonreactive bowl.
- Add the shrimp, turn to coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Drain the shrimp and reserve the marinade.
- In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the reserved marinade to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and cool.
- Whisk in the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Prepare a barbeque grill or preheat a broiler (I prefer to BBQ the shrimp).
- Grill or broil the shrimp until just pink, about 1 minute per side; keep warm.
- Salad: Fill a small skillet with oil to a depth of about 1 inch and place over medium heat.
- When oil is about 375°, fry the tortilla strips in batches until light brown and crisp; drain well on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with chili powder while still warm.
- In a large bowl, mix together the tomato, bell pepper and lettuce.
- Toss with enough of the marinade/oil dressing to coat lightly and divide among 4 large plates or shallow bowls.
- Top with the grilled shrimp and tortilla strips and serve immediately.
