    This is the original recipe for the Margarita Butter. The recipe was created by the chef at the Gage Hotel's Cafe Cenizo in Marathon (in the middle of nowhere in W. Texas). Excellent restaurant, though.

    -- Shrimp & Scallops --
    12 Jumbo Shrimp , tails left on
    12 Large Scallops
    1 tablespoon Chili powder
    Salt, to taste
    Pepper , to taste
    2 tablespoons Oil, Extra Virgin

    -- Margarita Butter --
    1 tablespoon Oil, Extra Virgin
    ½ cup Onion, Red, diced
    ½ cup Wine, dry white
    ½ cup Cream, heavy
    1 cup Butter, unsalted (2 sticks)
    3 tablespoons Tequila
    1 lime Lime juice
    Salt, to taste
    Pepper , to taste
    Shrimp and Scallops
    Heat Egg to about 450 degrees and oil the grate. Season shrimp and scallops with chili powder, salt and pepper. Brush with oil. Grill each side for 5 to 6 minutes. Serve drizzled with Margarita Butter.
    (makes 4 servings)

    Margarita Butter
    Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add oil. Add onion and cook until translucent. Deglaze pan with wine and reduce by half. Add cream, lower heat and reduce by half. Stir in butter a bit at a time, over low heat, until all is used and sauce is thickened. Stir in tequila and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. (makes 2 cups)

    Thanks Gary, glad to see you back and posting. I hope this is the real "Village Idiot". That was kind of crazy there for a while. I think the forum moderator has taken care of that problem.
    Can't wait to make your tortilla cobbler in OKC. :)
