Serving Size: 8
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Cups onion, minced
- 0.5 Cups fresh cilantro, minced
- 0.5 Cups jalapeño pepper, minced
- 0.25 Cups garlic, minced
- 1 Cup olive oil
- 0.75 Cup fresh lime juice
- 0.5 Cup Mexican beer
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) tequila
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) black pepper, ground
- 0.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) cumin, ground
Steps
- Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are prepped as specified. Mince the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic for a smooth blend.
- Blend the Marinade: In a blender, combine the minced onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, Mexican beer, tequila, black pepper, and cumin. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Marinate the Seafood: Place your choice of shrimp or fish in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the seafood, ensuring it is fully submerged. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Grill to Perfection: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the seafood from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill the shrimp or fish until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side for shrimp and 4-5 minutes per side for fish, depending on thickness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the grilled seafood hot, garnished with additional fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
