Orange Chipotle Tequila Shrimp

Orange Chipotle Tequila Shrimp

1 lb. large shrimp (peeled & deveined)

2T. olive oil

1 jalapeno, chopped fine

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped

juice from 1 lime

1C. orange juice

1/3 C. tequila

1 shallot, diced

1. In a ziploc baggie combine the shrimp, oil, jalapeno, 2 of the garlic and half the lime juice.  Set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. In a saucepan combine the chipotles, the other clove of garlic, the rest of the lime juice, tequila, orange juice and shallot.  Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.  Let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens a little.
3. Prepare the shrimp by any means (I put mine on the barbie.) then serve with the sauce drizzled over the top.
