Steps:
- Toss shrimp, tequila, orange zest, lime zest and salt in a medium bowl. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Place onion in a small bowl, cover with cold water and some ice; let stand for 10 minutes, or until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, make Creamy Lime-Chile Dressing by whisking all dressing ingredients together.
- Toss romaine, endive, orange segments and the drained onion in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Toss avocados with lime juice and divide among the salads.
- Drain the shrimp, reserving the marinade. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink and firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide among the salads.
- Add the reserved marinade to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring; then spoon over shrimp.
- Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
- Note: dressing will keep covered and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks - also great as a Caesar salad dressing on romaine with croutons and Parmesan shavings.

MARGARITA SHRIMP SALAD
This is one of our favorite summer salads- it makes a lovely "light" dinner meal and you don't have to heat up the kitchen! I've also used a combination of red, green and yellow bell peppers to add more color to the salad. Prep time does not include marinating time. Originally from "Savor the Southwest" cookbook.

Steps:
- Shrimp: Combine the cilantro, garlic, chili, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and cumin in a nonreactive bowl.
- Add the shrimp, turn to coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Drain the shrimp and reserve the marinade.
- In a small saucepan over high heat, bring the reserved marinade to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and cool.
- Whisk in the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Prepare a barbeque grill or preheat a broiler (I prefer to BBQ the shrimp).
- Grill or broil the shrimp until just pink, about 1 minute per side; keep warm.
- Salad: Fill a small skillet with oil to a depth of about 1 inch and place over medium heat.
- When oil is about 375°, fry the tortilla strips in batches until light brown and crisp; drain well on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with chili powder while still warm.
- In a large bowl, mix together the tomato, bell pepper and lettuce.
- Toss with enough of the marinade/oil dressing to coat lightly and divide among 4 large plates or shallow bowls.
- Top with the grilled shrimp and tortilla strips and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Make the macaroni salad: Bring 3 quarts of water to boil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and the macaroni. Cook al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and return to the Dutch oven. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the pasta fold to thoroughly combine. Set aside to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Marinate the margarita shrimp: Add the shrimp and kosher salt to a large bowl. Toss to combine. Pour the margarita mix over top. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes while you prepare the braised greens.
- Make the braised coconut greens: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and just starting to soften.
- Add ¼ cup of coconut milk plus the sugar and lime juice to the saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the kale leaves and snow peas, and season again with salt and pepper. Cover the saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the leaves are wilted and soft and the snow peas are tender.
- Cook the shrimp: Pour the marinade liquid into a 10-inch skillet, leaving the shrimp in the bowl. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by two-thirds to about ½ cup.
- Add the shrimp and 2 tablespoons of tequila to the skillet. Cook, tossing occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until the shrimp are bright pink and opaque.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tequila plus the cilantro and lime zest. Simmer for about 1 minute, tossing the shrimp to thoroughly coat. Serve immediately alongside the macaroni salad and braised greens.
- Just before serving, fold in the carrots, scallions, and buttermilk into the cooled macaroni salad. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut milk to the greens and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
- Enjoy!
