honey mustard shrimp on the bar-b
Big fan of shrimp? I am and during the summer, nothing is better than to add some skewered shrimp to the bar-b-q at a pool party, or anytime the grill is going. It took a few tries to perfect this recipe, but this one was the crowd-pleaser. It definitely has a bit of a sweet taste, but that gets cut slightly with the flavor of the garlic. If you like things a little spicier, you can also add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne or chili pepper to the recipe. You can also remove the tequila and replace it with 1 tablespoon of white balsamic vinegar or coconut vinegar.
