I am doing a "Margarita Madness" Party later this month and have looked on this site for recipes. I found a couple good ones: Margarita Pie/Squares and lots of Margarita Slushie recipes. Some one, of course I don't remember which thread it was in, mentioned Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers.

I have looked here, in Joyce's Fine Cooking site, and in what limited PC cookbooks I have and couldn't find the recipe.

Does anyone know where to find this recipe? Could you post it please?

I know there are lots of Mexican dishes out there, a few I have tried, but my Host wants to stick to the "Margarita" theme.

Thank you in advance,
Linda
 
The only thing I foung out is that the exact name is Margarita Grilled Shrimp and that they are located in the Great Grilling Recipe Card Collection....found it on Consultants Corner, but because of it being part of the recipe card collection, they won;t let me view it....sorry. Hope this helped a little tho!
 
Here you go...Margarita Grilled Shrimp

1/2 cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp salt
1 whole fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
24 uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium coals. In small bowl, combine limeade concentrate, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, garlic pressed with Garlic Press and salt; set aside. Cut pineapple into 3/4 inch thick slices. Thread shrimp onto four, 12 inch skewers.

Place pineapple slices on grid of grill; brush with a portion of the limeade mixture. Grill, covered, 6 minutes or until grill marks appear. Turn slices over; brush with limeade mixture. Grill 6 minutes; remove pineapple from grill. Place shrimp skewers on grid of grill; grill 3-4 minutes or until shrimp appear opaque, turning once and brushing occasionally with remaining limeade mixture.

To serve, cut pineapple slices in half and place on Simple Additions Rectangle Platter. Top pineapple with skewers of shrimp. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings

Cook's Tip: Wear plastic gloves when working with jalapeno peppers. The juice from the peppers can create a burning sensation on the skin.

Many thanksThank you so much. I do not know anyone who has ordered the Grilling Recipe Collection yet. It sounds fabulous, I might have to order them myself.

I think I'll have a nice collection of "Margarita" recipes for my Host. It looks like I can do the Margarita Pie first and while it chills do the Margarita Grilled Shrimp, and hopefully have everything ready at the same time. I think I will opt for an alcohol free Margarita drink or Limeade as this party will be in the afternoon.

Thanks for all your help!
Linda
 
Nice to see another fellow Canadian!! :)

Good luck with the recipes!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for the Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers?

To make Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers, you will need shrimp, lime juice, tequila, garlic, olive oil, cilantro, and spices such as salt and pepper. You can also add bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and color.

How long should I marinate the shrimp for the best flavor?

For optimal flavor, marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, do not exceed 2 hours, as the acidity from the lime juice can start to cook the shrimp and affect their texture.

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely before marinating. It’s best to do this overnight in the refrigerator or by placing them in a sealed bag and submerging them in cold water for quicker thawing.

What type of grill is best for cooking the skewers?

A gas or charcoal grill works well for cooking Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers. If you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, you can also use a grill pan on the stovetop or a broiler in your oven.

How do I know when the shrimp are done cooking?

The shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side on the grill. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough and rubbery.
