Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, just until the butter has melted. Add the shrimp and saute until they've all turned a bright orange color.

Add the tequila, lime juice, and the red pepper flakes to the shrimp. Cover and let simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed.

For each taco, spoon a couple of tablespoons of the spicy tequila lime shrimps onto two warm corn tortillas stacked on top of each other. Garnish with shredded cabbage, Pico de Gallo, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. If you like it extra spicy, sprinkle some more red pepper flakes on top. Enjoy!!!
