A Mexican twist on the traditional Spanish tapas - with olive oil, lime and Corona Extra. For optimum results: Serve with ice cold Corona Extra. Obviously, this is a recipe that I got from Corona! Enjoy!

1 cherry pepper, minced
1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined (at least 31/40 per pound or larger)

Steps:

  • Make sure that you have all of the ingredients ready to go!
  • Bring a LARGE non-stick frying pan or a wok to medium-high heat.
  • Add olive oil, garlic and minced cherry pepper. Cook until light brown and add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for a minute or two until shrimp are almost changed colour. Add Corona Extra and finish cooking (When shrimps fully change colour from blue to pink, they are done.).
