A delicious dinner truly doesn’t get much easier than this! Tender, sweet shrimp are sautéed in olive oil and garlic, then given a flavorful splash of tequila and fresh lime juice. They’re excellent served over hot rice or wrapped up in warm corn tortillas. This easy dinner is one the whole family will love (don’t worry, the alcohol cooks out of the shrimp, so the kids can enjoy them as well!). Be sure to heat up some refried beans too. This is one tasty meal that’s ready in just minutes!
