Tequila Lime Shrimp

Did a last minute, what can I make?, sort of dinner tonight.

Threw some frozen (Trader Joe's) shrimp in a bowl and poured a few ounces of 1800 silver tequila (100% agave, of course) over them. Squeezed one lime over them (it was a juicy sucker, or I would have done two), a slug or two of EVOO, and threw in a handful of chopped cilantro, S&P, and a liberal addition of DP Shakin' the Tree. Tossed this around periodically to help the shrimp thaw and marinate.

Cut up some red bell peppers in big hunks, cut some fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise, and coated them with EVOO and DP Raging River.

Got a 400° fire going under my grid with my half-moon raised grid (w/ drip pan) above. Grilled the potatoes and peppers, brushing with their marinade, until they looked pretty then transferred them to the upper grid. Skewered shrimp went on the lower grid, brushed with their own marinade and flipped - done in no time.

This was major delicious! The shrimp really took on the tequila lime flavors. I'm sure it would have been better with fresh wild shrimp (which are readily available to me - but, remember, this was a last minute sort of thing) but it was great as it was.
