Old Bay Tequila Shrimp 

Tips / Suggestions

• It’s a good idea to soak the skewers in water for an hour or two if you can. Otherwise, just keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t catch fire during grilling.

• A half of stick of butter works just as well for the butter mixture. I use a little bit more to dip some grilled bread into…so good.

• Another option to enhance the dish a little more. Grilled the lime halves first until they’re charred and then squeeze them. It’ll add another layer of flavor.

• McCormick’s Old Bay is perhaps the most iconic seafood spice, and we’re using plenty here on these shrimp. Mix in a little tequila and you may just find yourself having the best meal of the summer. Take pictures in case you don’t remember.
