Tequila Lime Shrimp

I was rummaging through my liquor cabinet and found a lonely bottle of tequila in there with only about 2 tablespoons of goodness left in it.  Who would leave that in there?  That's not even enough for a shot!  That's like leaving a drop of milk in the milk carton and stashing it back into the fridge.

Tequila Lime Shrimp















Ingredients:
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • 2 tablespoons tequila
  • juice of a lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt
  • Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Smart Balance
Directions:
  • Place all the ingredients, except for the Smart Balance, into a plastic zip bag and let marinade in the fridge for about an hour.  (Shrimp is usually naturally salty to begin with, so go lightly on the TSSS.)
  • Melt the Smart Balance in a skillet over medium heat.  Remove the shrimp from the marinade and sauté in the skillet, a minute or two on each side.  Transfer the shrimp to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Pour the marinade into the skillet and bring to a boil.  Lower the heat and simmer for several minutes until the sauce is reduced by half.
  • Plate the shrimp over brown rice and drizzle with the sauce.
