A vibrant and flavorful shrimp dish with a zesty lime and tequila twist, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the minced garlic and chili powder to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic, which can turn bitter.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
Add the butter and tequila to the skillet, stirring to combine and cook for 1 minute.
Let the alcohol in the tequila cook off slightly for a balanced flavor.
Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro, then remove from heat.
Add the lime juice off the heat to preserve its fresh flavor.
Serve the shrimp hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
