Tequila Sunset Gulf Shrimp




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2 1/2 pounds large shrimp, headed
1 cup tequila
1/4 cup pickling spice
1 or 2 tablespoons lime juice
1 stick butter
2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning - See Below

Recipe



In a large bowl, combine the pickling spice, the unpeeled shrimp, and tequila. Marinate for one hour turning occasionally.

Empty into top of a large steamer and steam for about ten minutes or until shrimp just turns pink and the shrimp feels hot to the touch. Do not overcook or the shrimp will become tough.

Turn into a serving bowl with the stick of cold butter (cut into pats). Sprinkle the cajun seasoning and lime juice over the top and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

This is a finger food. Serve with lots of towels...and a lemon water finger bowl to rinse ones' fingers, and a bowl for the discarded shrimp peels.

Cajun Seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic chips
1 teaspoon onion flakes freshly ground
1 teaspoon celery seed freshly ground
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder deluxe
1/2 teaspoon cayenne--more if you like it really hot
1/2 teaspoon red chili peppers new mexican
1 teaspoon black pepper coarsely ground
1 teaspoon salt

I usually use garlic and onion flakes, black or gourmet mix peppercorns, and celery seed and grind them together in a spice, pepper mill, or a hand-powered coffee mill (this one gives the best control over the texture of the grind).

Combine all spices thoroughly. Store in a tight container.
