• Cook on the preheated grill until shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

SHRIMP MARGARITA

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.

MARGARITA SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• 1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
• 2. Toss in tomatoes, onions, mango, and shrimp.
• 3. Chop avocado and toss with lime juice. Leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. This will slow down the browning process of the avocado.
• 4. Add avocado lime juice to mixture and toss.
• 5. Serve with tortilla chips.
• 6. **NOTE** For a very impressive presentation, I like to serve this in a margarita glass placed on top of a dessert sized plate with some of the avocado mixed in and some sprinkled on top. A lime wedge on the edge of the glass and tortilla chips around the plate. Makes a great appetizer for a dinner party or a great dip for a big party!
