  1. We loved this way of cooking shrimp. I used a pound of medium shrimp (about 25). The tequila was a nice touch. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 8.
     
  2. This a great shrimp recipe, having lots of flavor even with a short cook time. I cut the recipe in half and used about 10-12 large shrimp. After the shrimp cooked I took them out of the pan and reduced the sauce a little which made it rich and creamy. The chipolte is very subtle and goes well with the tequila I'll probable add a little more next time. I had this with a nice cold beer - a perfect combination! Thanks for sharing, made for ZWT 8 by one of The Wild Bunch.
