  • ¼ cup olive oil

Description

  1. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, tequila, garlic salt, cumin, and black pepper together in a bowl until well blended; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 1 to 4 hours.
