My favourite meals are full of flavour and perfect for a quick and delicious weeknight meal but this Tequila Lime Shrimp recipe is also perfect for entertaining. If you are daring enough to do the flambe your guests will be wowed by your culinary skills and kitchen showmanship and you will never have to tell them how easy it is!
Grab a few ingredients and a ripe, juicy lime and you will have a delicious Mexican recipe your friends and family will love.
