Delicious! I used pre-cooked shrimp, so I changed the cooking sequence. I sauteed the garlic in 1 TBS. butter then added the tequila, turning the heat to HIGH to boil off the alcohol taste. I added the cooked shrimp last just to heat through. The flavors were perfect!

This was awesome but, I have to admit the other reviewers talked me into some changes. First, I squeezed a full lime into a glass measuring cup, added enough tequila to make a full cup, added a splash of contreau to that and then added maybe 1 tablespoon of cilantro (all left that hadn't died in my garden), 3 green onions, 4 minced garlic cloves & I let it all marinate with the shrimp (and some sea scallops too) for 20 minutes or so. The scallops were a nice addition but not needed. I just like them so I often add them to recipes calling for shrimp. I served it over angel hair pasta and it was very nice.

I made this for my dad on Fathers Day and he said it was the best shrimp he had ever had!! We made surf-n-turf tacos with it. I have to agree with my dad, the flavor was excellent.

These were fun to make and absolutely delicious! Unfortunately they didn't last long so I didn't have any leftovers to snack on later.

This was great!!! I followed others suggestions and did the 1/4 cup beer and 1/4 cup tequila garlic and I also added chili powder and ground red pepper lime and 3 chopped green onions too. Let it sit about 30 min. But when it was almost done it tasted a little bland. So I added more beer and tequila and it was perfect. The next time I would probably not add the beer or not as much it seemed to kill the taste!!!

These shrimp were very tasty, however, we added lime juice to the tequila and would marinate the shrimp for at least a half-hour prior in the future to really give them a taste.

nice change. I used a splash of Cuervo Gold, juiced a few limes, chopped garlic and let the shrimp hang out in the fridge for a while. The danger here is it can quickly turn to ceviche if you leave it too long and then the shrimp will be rubbery when you get finished cooking them. I added crushed red pepper flakes, lots of black pepper and a splash of soy. I ended up pulling them out of the non-stick and throwing them in a HOT regular frying pan to get a crust on them and pull them out of the excess liquid. We had them with sauteed green beans and a glass of Reisling.

Good recipe with potential to be great. I marinated the shrimp in 1/3c tequila, 1/3c beer, juice of 1 lime and some crushed garlic. I followed the rest of the recipe, adding just some red pepper flakes and lighting the pan with a match to burn out some of the alcohol (which I might not do next time because I felt it took away too much flavor). I served it over angel hair pasta, which I tossed with some sauteed garlic and butter (I was worried there wouldn't be enough flavor in the shrimp to cover the pasta - I think I was right). It was a nice, light meal. Next time I'll make some modifications to enhance the flavor- it was a little on the bland side.

I'm rating this recipe low, because it was TERRIBLE to me. I was disappointed b/c it received so many positive ratings. I guess it wasn't good to me is because I don't drink. It was too strong! I rinsed my shrimp off and made shrimp alfredo. SORRY, but this recipe did nothing for me, but taught me a lesson.

This was great! I used 1/4 cup tequila and 1/4 cup beer to 1 pound of shrimp and also added some red pepper flakes, sweet red and yellow peppers, onions and some spinach and diced tomato at the end of cooking it, as a filler. Put in flour tortilla and topped with black beans. I WILL be making this again!

This was fantastic! I made some changes. I used 1/4 cup tequila and 1/4 cup lime juice and put them in with the garlic before the shrimp. When the shrimp was cooked, I mixed 1 tsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water and added it to thicken up the sauce. I put them in flour tortillas and YUM! They were even awesome as cold leftovers the next day.
