2 cups margarita mix with tequila*
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Cocktail sauce:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon catsup
1 tablespoon horseradish
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Combine shrimp, margarita mix and cilantro. Marinate for about an hour. Strain shrimp from marinade. Pour marinade into a deep skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Add shrimp and simmer uncovered about 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Remove shrimp and allow to cool.
For cocktail sauce, combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve shrimp with cocktail sauce and Margaritas!
*This is a great way to use up leftover cocktail mixes. If you don’t have margarita mix you can sustitute 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1/4 cup tequila for the marinade. When poaching add 1 cup of water to the marinade.
