Recipe(tried): Tequila-Honey Shrimp

This recipe is a treasure. Completely simple but elegant!

TEQUILA HONEY SHRIMP
Shrimp makes the perfect entr e for after-work dinner parties: It must be cooked fast or it toughens up and loses its juiciness. If you're a garlic fan, you might consider adding even more of the fragrant bulb. The savory garlic here keeps the honey from making the dish too sweet, and the tequila adds a welcome punch. Add a bit of crushed red pepper for a spicy-sweet sensation. From Robert Mondavi Web Site
