Margaritaville Shrimp

Directions

1. Squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp and let them hang out as you gather the remaining ingredients.
2. Melt the butter into the olive oil in a large pan, add the shrimp and the garlic and saute over medium for a minute or so. Add the scallions and cook for a minute, stirring. Sprinkle with the aleppo pepper and cook for a few more seconds. Lower the heat.
3. Demonstrating heroic restraint, do not sample the tequila, but pour it over the shrimp. Ignite with a long kitchen match and duck. When the flames subside, add a splash of heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste. Stir.
4. Wet the edge of 4margarita or martini glasses and rim with sea salt. Pile the shrimp into the glasses, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and place the lime wheel attractively on the side of the glasses. (You could also skip this and just put the shrimp in little bowls with cilantro sprinkled on top. But it's more fun the other way)
