Notes: Shrimp makes the perfect entree for after-work dinner parties: It
must be cooked fast or it toughens up and loses its juiciness. If you're a
garlic fan, you might consider adding even more of the fragrant bulb. The
savory garlic here keeps the honey from making the dish too sweet, and the
tequila adds a welcome punch. Add a bit of crushed red pepper for a
spicy-sweet sensation.
