Tequila Adobo Bbq Shrimp

This shrimp is a treat. I first had this at a restaurant down in mexico. The taste always stayed in the back of my mind. Someone else had also eaten this dish at pappadeaux's and i promised to help find the recipe. I found something similar, but couldn't quite get the sauce right. I must have been thinking about it pretty hard, because i had a dream about how to come up with the sauce. It was a simple solution too! Maybe i should have named this
