How to Make Honey Tequila Lime Shrimp
To make your own cilantro lime shrimp with tequila, add your fresh shrimp to a large bowl along with some oil. Season shrimp meat thoroughly with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set in the fridge until ready to use.
Preheat your Breeo Y Series to medium heat (about 350F).
The Honey Tequila Lime Butter Sauce
Add a small skillet to the lip of the grill and then melt your clarified butter. Next, add your minced garlic and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Next, add your lime juice and tequila (carefully).
Let the sauce simmer for 4-5 more minutes, and finally add your honey. Bring to a rolling simmer with bubbles appearing on the surface. Simmer for 3-4 more minutes until slightly thickened, then pull off and cool.
