TEQUILA SHRIMP (Shrimp with Tequila-Citrus Sauce)
From the Old Mexico Grill in Santa Fe.

INGREDIENTS (serves 2)

8 jumbo shrimp (peeled & deveined)
2 Tbsp clarified unsalted butter
3 oz tequila
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 oranges (juiced)
2 limes (juiced)
3/4 cup heavy cream

(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 I'd reduced the sauce.
