1Tbsn butter

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tspn olive oil
1 Tbsp white tequila  (or gold, whatever)

Grill the shrimp over high heat till done. 3-5 minutes depending on your grill.  Heat a small pan over medium-high heat. Add butter and reserved marinade ingredients. Cook for 3 minutes until thickened slightly. Chop cooked shrimp into small pieces and add to cooked marinade. Warm tortillas on the grill or on a griddle. 30 seconds to a minute per side.
