Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk olive oil, lime juice, tequila, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.

Remove shrimp from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Thread shrimp on the skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head.
