Notes Tequila-Lime Shrimp Preparation
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Heat margarine and oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add garlic and shrimp; cook about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in tequila, lime juice, salt, and chili powder. Cook 2 minutes more or until most of the liquid is evaporated and shrimp is pink and glazed. Add cilantro.
Serve over hot, cooked rice, garnished with lime wedges.

Kids liked it, wife thought it was a waste of tequila until she ate it. Doubled the sauce and used it over fried rice.
