Tasty, not quite as complex tasting as I had hoped but will probably make again. It would be a great dish for a newer cook to use for a date night. : Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, the recipe has you cooking the shrimp for 6 minutes. This is way way way too long, especially if you cut them in half. I used approx 20 whole large black tiger shrimp and they were done in 4 minutes. So add the tomatoes either with the shrimp or with the avocado. Also, if you use a citrus juicer go with 1 lime instead of 2. I used two and there was too much liquid in the dish and the lime was overpowering.

Wow, my husband and I just finished our amazing Tequila shrimp dinner. Didn't add the cilantro (husband doesn't like the taste and didn't have any avocados on hand and it was still great. The tequila definitely adds a sweet tang with the lime juice.
Thanks!!
