Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
8 x jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
2 tbl unsalted butter (I subbed olive oil)
3 oz tequila
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 x oranges juiced
2 x limes juiced
Instructions:
Instructions: Serves 2

1. Heat butter in medium saute pan until hot. Add shrimp and cook on both sides until slightly undercooked. Add garlic and reduce heat to medium.

2. Stand back - add tequila and let flame for 30 - 45 seconds.

3. Add orange and lime juices, salt and pepper.

Reduce for 1 - 2 minutes. Add cream and let boil until reduced to a thick sauce.

NOTES
I found it best to remove the shrimp after adding the citrus juices. Otherwise, they were overcooked by the time Id reduced the sauce.

Next time I try this one, Ill give it a go and try a non-fat skim/soy/rice substitution. If anyone gets a chance to try this, let me know how it turns out and if the cream ends up curdling. [Bernie]
