Because Tequila doesn't always have to be associated with a bad night




I came across this recipe from Fine Cooking and thought it sounded delicious. Plus, I was craving a lime marg and was out of tequila. I always feel less like an alcoholic when I buy booze for recipes.

From Left: 
Marie Sharp's hot sauce, El Jimador Tequila (delicious for the price), Chili Sauce, lime, orange.


I changed the recipe slightly, using fresh shrimp rather than cooking prawns and chili sauce instead of ketchup. The flavours were delicious together. 

I chopped up another avocado and tomato the next day and, using the leftover shrimp (which had been marinating in the sauce all night), I put together a ceviche-like dish. 


Perfect with some tortilla chips and a football game! 

Can you tell I desperately need a Mexican vacation?

The title of this post MADE my morning. Who knows, maybe even my week! I can't wait to try this recipe :) (especially because certain brands of repasado tequila are one of my favorite libations)!!! Happy Thursday !
