Ingredients:  
1 pound raw jumbo shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), peeled and deveined
1/3 cup olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons tequila, optional
Thin slices of fresh lime, if placing shrimp on skewers
Chopped cilantro
Wedges of fresh lime, for squeezing over top of grilled shrimp

Directions:
Directions:
Shrimp can be grilled with or without skewers. If using wood skewers, start soaking them in water. Place shrimp in a wide shallow bowl and set aside. In a small bowl with high sides, combine all ingredients from olive oil through black pepper. Use an immersion blender to completely process until there are no sizable pieces. Or use a food processor or blender. Pour marinade over shrimp and gently stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, folding gently about halfway through. Drizzle tequila over the shrimp and gently fold to combine. If using skewers, thread shrimp onto skewers, with a folded slice of lime in between shrimp. Heat grill to medium-high. Make sure grates are clean, and then oil them well. Set shrimp on grates and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or just until shrimp are no longer opaque and have some nice char. Smaller shrimp will take less time. Place shrimp on a platter and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
