Another shrimp recipe

Amounts will vary depending on personal tastes and appetite, but

Obi's Tequila Ginger Shrimp

Except for the shrimp, amounts are approximations (since I was eyeballing it, rather than measuring)

1/2 pound of 25-30 count shrimp per person.
2 teaspoons lime juice (1 for marinade, one for cooking)
1/2 cup tequila (I used Jose Cuervo Black Label)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 pieces crystallized ginger
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

1 teaspoon oil (vegetable oil preferred)

Salt and pepper the shrimp... this is more out of habit, since we are about to dump them into the marinade.
Combine all ingredients, holding back some of the lime juice, in a ziploc bag, toss in shrimp, seal bad w/air inside and jumble everything up. Crack the seal and remove air. Seal bag. Put in fridge for about 15-20 minutes.

In a hot pan add the oil and then the shrimp and some of the marinade. Cook the shrimp, turning regularly to cook evenly AND to coat the shrimp.

Serves one.
serve over rice or with vegetables.

Options:

1) Substitute rum for tequila for a more Caribbean flavor rather than Mexican.
2) Non-alcoholic versions can substitute guava, agave or pineapple nectar. Probably want to remove the soy if you are going for this (I have no idea what it would taste like, though pineapple/soy should work).
3) Minced ginger can be used instead of crystallized (if you can find the stuff).
4) Substitute or add herbs and spices for your preferences, though they are only marinading for 15 minutes.
