Ingredients

  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, and deveined
  • 1/2 pound scallops
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup tequila
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into bite-sized strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-sized strips
  • 4 lime wedges (for garnish)
  • If your shrimp or scallops are frozen, thaw and rinse them. If the scallops are as large as an egg or larger, cut them in half and set them aside
  • In a large glass, ceramic, or stainless steel mixing bowl, stir together the lime juice, lemon juice, cilantro, 1 tablespoon oil, tequila, garlic, hot sauce, cumin, and oregano
  • Add the shrimp and scallops
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper in the remaining tablespoon of oil until they begin to get soft, about 4 minutes
  • Add the shrimp-scallop mixture to the skillet, and bring everything to a boil
  • Cook and stir the mixture for about 3 minutes, until some of the liquid has burned off and the scallops are cooked
  • Garnish with lime wedges
  • Serve alone, with rice, quinoa or whatever makes you happy
