This recipe is fast and FANTASTIC. Quite possibly our best shrimp recipe to date. HG Alternative! The cilantro works reeeeally well here (believe it!), but if that herb's a non-negotiable for you, just skip it or swap it out for chopped scallions.From Hungry Girl. POINTS® value 4*
Ingredients:
8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 small onion, sliced
3 tablespoons tequila (1 1/2 oz. or 1 shot)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat.
2. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is slightly translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Carefully add tequila to the pan and stir. (It's unlikely it will flare up, but be cautious, just in case.) Cover the pan and let simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes, until shrimp are nearly opaque.
5. Add tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, and salt, and mix well.
6. Stirring occasionally, cook until tomatoes have softened and shrimp are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Enjoy!
