I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Creamy Chipotle Tequila Shrimp
...in your mind.

So good, creamy & wonderful. Positively dreamy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add butter, oil & shrimp
  2. Season with salt & pepper and cook until about 1/2 way done
