For best results, use high-quality tequila and fresh lime juice. Soaking the wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill. Do not over-marinate the shrimp, as the lime juice can begin to 'cook' them. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. For added flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
