Feel free to adjust the amount of tequila, lime juice, and chili powder to your personal preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a nice kick. For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice and high-quality tequila. Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture. The shrimp are best when they are still hot and succulent.
