This has become a favourite of ours and it is silly-easy. Last time
Steve made it he used Pickled Serranos and we liked it better!

Steve's Grilled Tequila Lime Shrimp
1 pound large shrimp, raw, in shell
1 cup good quality Tequila
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 - 7 oz. can sliced, pickled Jalapeno peppers (including juice)
2 Tbl. fresh minced garlic
½ cup olive oil
Long bamboo skewers
Method:
Butterfly shrimp and de-vein if necessary. Combine all ingredients
with shrimp in a re-sealable plastic bag or non-reactive bowl covered
with plastic wrap. Marinate, refrigerated for 1 – 2 hours. While
marinating, soak skewers in water. Skewer shrimp crosswise (through
the center of the body), 4 – 6 to a skewer. Bar-B-Que until pink,
turning once. If possible, grill over a fire with some flavorful wood
chips (Hickory, Apple, Pecan, etc.) to give the shrimp a smoky
overtone.
