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

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are prepped as specified. Mince the onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic for a smooth blend.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the grilled seafood hot, garnished with additional fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
