1 pound Shrimp, Raw, Peeled And Deviened
1 whole Avocado, diced
2 whole Limes
2 whole Oranges
1/4 cups Olive Oil
⅛ cups Tequila
1 Tablespoon Triple Sec
1/2 teaspoons Curry Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoons Turmeric
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
1/4 cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

1
For the marinade: Zest the oranges and limes into a bowl.
2
Juice the oranges and limes into the same bowl.
3
Add remaining marinade ingredients.
4
Whisk together, then add the shrimp.
5
Refrigerate for about 1 hour (try not to go over, as the acid will start to cook the shrimp).
6
At this point I make a pot of rice, couscous, or quinoa (instead of cooking the grain in water, I cook in vegetable or chicken stock).
7
To cook the shrimp, remove from the marinade and either skewer and grill, or saute in a frying pan with a little olive oil.
8
If using a pan, pat shrimp with paper towels first so the extra marinade doesnt scorch in the pan.
9
Remove shrimp from grill or pan and set aside.
10
Pour remaining marinade into the pan and cook until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
11
To serve: cover a plate with rice, couscous, quinoa, etc., or a bed of greens.
12
Top this with the diced avocado, then the shrimp.
13
Pour sauce over entire dish.
14
This dish can be eaten hot or room temperature.
