Time 55m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled, de-veined, and tail on (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup tequila, preferably Anejo
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing the grill grates
16 slices bacon (not thick cut)
2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

Toss the shrimp in a large bowl with the tequila, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
Drain the shrimp and then toss with the oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap each shrimp with a slice of bacon. Thread 2 shrimp and 2 lime pieces on each skewer, alternating between the two.
Lightly oil the grill grates and grill until the bacon is crisp and shrimp are firm, flipping as needed, about 5 minutes.
