This is unique, lively, and extremely flavorful. I had something like this in a restaurant in Durango, CO in the 90's and loved it so came home and tried to recreate it.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil shopping list
- 1 1/2 limes (grate peel from one lime then juice the rest) shopping list
- 3 Tb tequila shopping list
- 2 Tb triple sec shopping list
- 1 large jalepeno, seeded, and chopped shopping list
- 1 tsp chili powder shopping list
- 1 tsp sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 lb or more mixed shrimp (peeled to tail) and Sea (large) scallops shopping list
- 1/2 stick butter, melted shopping list
- 1 Tb heavy cream shopping list
- 1 Tb onion, very finely chopped shopping list
- 1/2 jalepeno, very finely chopped shopping list
- 1 1/2 Tb very finely chopped fresh ginger shopping list
How to make it
- Mix together first eight ingredients to make marinade. Marinate shrimp & scallops in mixture for at least 30 minutes (a couple hours is even better..) Melt butter over medium low heat. Whisk remaining ingredients into melted butter and saute for 10 minutes. This sauce is best if it sits longer or overnight, to meld the flavors, and is then reheated.
- Grill shrimp & Scallops, preferably on skewers, over fire until done (about 4-7 minutes). Do not overcook. Serve with melted ginger-butter.
