Tequila Tiger Shrimp with Tangerine Dressing

I figured that since tequila is rumored to make your clothes fall off, it would also take shrimp shells off! Dangit, it didn’t work but I ended up with some tasty drunken grilled shrimp. Grilled shrimp is a great addition when you are in the mood for a healthy salad. For a crowd-pleasing appetizer version, use more shrimp and fewer greens.
