Margarita Shrimp Stir-Fry
½ Cup Frozen (Thawed) Margarita Mix
1 Teaspoon Grated Lime Peel
½ Pound Uncooked Deveined Peeled Medium (26 to 30 Count) Shrimp, Thawed If
1 Tablespoon Butter or Margarine
½ Medium Green Bell Pepper, Cut Into Thin Strips
½ Medium Red Bell Pepper, Cut Into Thin Strips
1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Cilantro
1 Cup Uncooked Instant White Rice
1 Cup Water
- In small bowl, stir margarita mix and lime peel. Reserve 2 tablespoons mixture. Add shrimp to remaining mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to marinate.
- In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook green and red bell peppers in butter 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.
- Remove shrimp from marinade; discard marinade. Stir shrimp into mixture in skillet. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is pink. Stir in reserved 2 tablespoons sauce and the cilantro. Cook until heated through.

Chicken is a great substitute for shrimp. Cut ½ pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces; cook until no longer pink in the center. Try basmati or jasmine rice – start the rice before you cook the peppers, preparing as directed on the package.
