A very nice weeknight meal in the summer - would be perfect with a margarita! I worried the tequila would be too strong, but in combination with the light spice on the shrimp and the tart lime juice, it's very refreshing. Feel like the dish needed a vegetable to freshen it up.

Top notch -- both because it's so delicious and so easy to prepare. I have a confession, however. The second time I made it, I accidentally added the lime juice and oil to the tequila, and added all of that to the pan with the shrimp. It was a happy accident, which made a great sauce that I simply poured over the rice and shrimp on serving. I now do it this way everytime.

We have made this recipe since it was first published, and it's an easy mid-week meal to prepare. Our entire family loves the dish.
