"Sweet and simple! Perhaps not as intense in flavor as I had imagined, but a very enjoyable quick and easy dish. Next time I will probably add a good pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a taste of sweet and hot. We accompanied the shrimp with a cucumber-tomato salad and rice pilaf."

Tequila Honey Shrimp Preparation

1. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and saute for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink. 2. Add the honey and tequila and cook for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

*Recipe from Memorable Menus Made Easy by Robyn Webb (American Diabetes Association). Reviewed by the Chicago Suntimes. Notes: Shrimp makes the perfect entree for after-work dinner parties: It must be cooked fast or it toughens up and loses its juiciness. If youre a garlic fan, you might consider adding even more of the fragrant bulb. The savory garlic here keeps the honey from making the dish too sweet, and the tequila adds a welcome punch. Add a bit of crushed red pepper for a spicy-sweet sensation.
