Chef's Tip

Cooking shrimp in their shells with the head on helps retain their natural flavor and is far more delicious. Also more hands on when eaten!

Directions:

  1. One hour before cooking, rinse and pat the shrimp dry.
  2. In a mixing bowl add the tequila, jalapeño, lime juice, oil, and salt.
  3. Add shrimp to mixing bowl and gently toss until all shrimp are coated.
  4. Preheat a grill or oven to 400°F, soak the wraps in water for several minutes.
  5. Place 2 shrimp on each wrap, roll up and secure with twine.
  6. Place the wraps on the grill and close the lid or oven door, cook for 10 – 15 minutes or until done.
  7. Serve immediately with plenty of napkins.

 

*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
