1 jalapeño, minced
1/2 cup cilantro, rough chop
1 avocado, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lime, zest and juice

Shell, devein, rinse and pat dry shrimp (it is up to you if you want to leave the tails on).  Mix together the chili powder, cumin, chipolte powder and salt.  Sprinkle on shrimp both sides.  Heat a skillet on medium high add olive oil, when hot add shrimp and cook approx. 2 to 3 minutes on each side.  Remove from heat add tequila stir to coat each shrimp.  Move to a bowl making sure you get all the olive oil mixture in the bowl and allow shrimp to cool completely.

Remove shrimp from bowl leaving all the goodies in the bottom of the bowl.  Chop up enough shrimp to make 3/4 cup and put back into the bowl, add onion, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, garlic and lime, mix together, salt to taste.

Serve with tortilla chips and leftover shrimp.
