Simple Suppers List: Tequila-Orange Grilled Shrimp

Serves 4 to 6


1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails left on

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 jalapeño chile, very finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped

Zest of 1 lime, plus lime wedges for serving

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup orange juice

1/4 cup tequila

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, oil, half the jalapeño, half the garlic, and zest; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.

2. In a shallow saucepan, combine remaining jalapeño and garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, orange juice, tequila, and shallots; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture is thick and syrupy, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in butter; keep warm.
