MARGARITA SHRIMP SALAD
This is one of our favorite summer salads- it makes a lovely "light" dinner meal and you don't have to heat up the kitchen! I've also used a combination of red, green and yellow bell peppers to add more color to the salad. Prep time does not include marinating time. Originally from "Savor the Southwest" cookbook.

Steps:
- Shrimp: Combine the cilantro, garlic, chili, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and cumin in a nonreactive bowl.
- Add the shrimp, turn to coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Drain the shrimp and reserve the marinade.
- In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the reserved marinade to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and cool.
- Whisk in the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Prepare a barbeque grill or preheat a broiler (I prefer to BBQ the shrimp).
- Grill or broil the shrimp until just pink, about 1 minute per side; keep warm.
- Salad: Fill a small skillet with oil to a depth of about 1 inch and place over medium heat.
- When oil is about 375°, fry the tortilla strips in batches until light brown and crisp; drain well on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with chili powder while still warm.
- In a large bowl, mix together the tomato, bell pepper and lettuce.
- Toss with enough of the marinade/oil dressing to coat lightly and divide among 4 large plates or shallow bowls.
- Top with the grilled shrimp and tortilla strips and serve immediately.
MARGARITA GRILLED SHRIMP
The shrimp can be marinated up to 3 hours before grilling. The amount of red pepper used can be adjusted according to how hot you like it. The marinade is also great on chicken.

Steps:
- Shell and devein shrimp. Butterfly shrimp by splitting them partly down the back, starting at the head and stopping short of the tail. Flatten them lightly. Place shrimp in a bowl and add lime juice, salt and pepper. Let stand briefly until ready to cook.
- Peel the avocado, and cut it into half-inch slices. Discard pit. Use as soon as possible or the flesh will discolor.
- Heat butter in a skillet; when it is quite hot but not smoking add shrimp, stirring rapidly. Cook about two minutes. Sprinkle with shallots and cook, stirring, about 10 seconds. Carefully add the tequila, which may flare up. Add half-and-half and cook over high heat about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add avocado, and cook just until the slices are piping hot.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp and avocado pieces to hot serving dishes. Bring the sauce to a full rolling boil for about 1 1/2 minutes and add the chopped cilantro. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and avocado. Serve with rice.
