TEQUILA ADOBO BBQ SHRIMP

Steps:

• Shrimp Marinade and Grilling: In a glass bowl, stir together Tequila, lime juice, garlic and pepper.
• Marinate shrimp for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Over marinating will result in a very strong flavor!
• Remove shrimp from marinade, and wrap shrimp in bacon pieces.
• Thread shrimp on skewers and lightly sprinkle with seasoning salt.
• Grill shrimp over medium hot charcoal fire, basting with Adobo BBQ sauce.
• Turn shrimp every 2 minutes and continue to baste.
• The shrimp should cook for about 10 minutes.
• Bacon will be cooked, but not crisped.
• Serve immediately and drizzle with additional sauce.
• BBQ Adobo Sauce: Add dried chilies (except chipotle pepper) to 1 1/2 cups of boiling water.
• Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Remove chilies and reserve 1/2 cup of chile water.
• Add chile, reserved water, onion, garlic, oregano, cinnamon, and cumin to a blender and puree.
• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan.
• Sautee puree in pan and add vinegar and sugar, bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until thick.
• This should yield 2 cups of Adobo sauce.
• I freeze the extra sauce.
• Mix 1/2 cup of Adobo sauce with 1/2 cup of prepared BBQ sauce.
• Differing the proportions of the mixture will give you varying degrees of spice.
• Use this mixture to baste shrimp and drizzle remaining on shrimp.
