Tequila Citrus Shrimp Kebabs

1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 poblano peppers, or red bell peppers, cut into chunks
Salt and pepper

In a large bowl, whisk tequila, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, cilantro, chili powder, garlic, and jalapeno. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 20 minutes (it’s important not to marinade much longer because the citrus will start to “cook” the shrimp).
Thread shrimp onto skewers, alternating with a piece of pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve marinade. Grill on a medium high heat grill, about 6 minutes, brushing with marinade occasionally.
