  1. Great idea!! The potent tequila, lime and jalapeno combo may not be for everyone, or could be balanced with the addition of something sweet. We questioned the quick grill time but yes, it's correct - marinating in fresh lime juice partially "cooks" the shrimp.
     
  2. Great salad with great taste. We did cut back on the olive oil a tad, and used the 1 cup of corn chips. Made for a nice side to dinner. Made for New Zaar Tag.
