-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Shrimp:
1 pound shrimp
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup white tequila
2 tablespoons Triple Sec
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Salad
1 cup roasted red peppers -- diced
1 cup roasted yellow peppers -- diced
1 cup roasted corn kernals
1 cup tomato -- seeded and chopped
1 cup canned black beans -- rinsed
2/3 cup red onion -- thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon jalapeno -- seeded and minced

Vinaigrette:
1 1/4 cups light olive oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 avocado -- diced


Peel and devein shrimp.

Mix all marinade ingredients together and marinate shrimp 30 minutes.

Roast corn and peppers. Slice corn from the cob and peel charred skins from peppers. Dice pepper and mix in a bowl with the corn, tomatoes, black beans, onion, cilantro, and minced jalapeno.

For vinaigrette, blend ingredients in food processor (except avocado). Add avocado. Pulse just to blend-too much will make it turn oily.

Remove shrimp from marinade and grill (or saute). Add hot shrimp to roasted mixture. Toss with 1/2 cup avocado vinaigrette.

Dip the glass rim in lime juice and then into minced cilantro. Spoon salad into glass. Garnish with baked tortilla strips, lime and cilantro.
