Natural Wood Wrapped Double Tequila Shrimp

 

Who said Tequila is just for shots and margaritas? Try this recipe for shrimp marinated in tequila and salsa, wrapped in a tequila-soaked cedar wrap then grilled and served in a tortilla. It’s a party stopper that doesn’t give you a hangover!

Cedar Wrap Double Tequila Shrimp – Serves as many as you like

You’ll need:

  • Shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • Salsa
  • Tequila
  • Cedar Wrap
  • A little more tequila
  • Tortillas
  • Grated cheese
BBQ prawns in a grilling wrap

Step 1:
Spoon a couple tablespoons of salsa and a splash of tequila over the shrimp and stir to coat, then put the shrimp in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.

Step 2:
Place the cedar wrap in a plastic bag and pour in an ounce of tequila. Work the booze around until it coats the wrapper and the string to tie it with.

Step 3:
After 10 minutes, remove the wrap from the bag and spoon the shrimp down the middle. Roll the wrapper up and tie off with the string.

Step 4:
Prepare the grill for medium high heat with coals on one side and nothing on the other. Place the double tequila shrimp in a cedar wrap at the edge of the coals.

Step 5:
Roll the wrap over after 4-5 minutes and leave it on the grill for another 4-5 minutes.

Step 6:
Remove the double tequila shrimp in a cedar wrap from the grill after 8-10 minutes.

Step 7:
Spoon the shrimp into a tortilla, sprinkle with grated cheese, and serve.

If you have any tequila left over, use it to make margaritas or get creative and try another mixer. Tequila, grapefruit juice, soda and a squeeze of lime makes a Paloma. Or get really adventurous and make a Lagertia. That’s a cocktail that takes the tequila from a classic margarita and adds beer. A light IPA will do the trick. Oh and if you really don’t want that hangover, a refreshing non-alcoholic drink would be an equally good if not better choice.

  When spring is in the air, asparagus are back in season and that’s something to be excited about, especially when you grill them with salmon in our fabulous Cedar Works grilling wraps .  It’s a classic combination, and the flavour will be beautifully enhanced by the subtle smokiness the wraps provide. The flaky salmon and tender asparagus will melt in your mouth! Pro tip: Only use the freshest asparagus you can find. Fresh asparagus sounds squeaky when rubbed.
