All the margarita shrimp recipes I’ve found online use basically the same ingredients and don’t sound anything like what you get at Baywatch.
I've made them several times and found in order to get enough sauce to coat and for dipping garlic toast, I had to add too much hot sauce for the right consistency. Because it was so hot I tried adding fish stock and chicken stock on two occasions which helped a little but that changed the consistency of the sauce.
I marinating the shrimp in tequila and lime juice with garlic before cooking them, and also did it without marinating them and noticed little difference in the final result.
I dust the shrimp with flour and sauté them in a hot pan with olive oil, butter with garlic. Put in fresh lime juice to deglaze pan, and then added tequila. Once it reduced slightly and I burned some of the alcohol off, I added Louisiana hot sauce and some more butter to finish the sauce. Way too hot, nothing like Andy's. I find Louisiana hot sauce to have less heat than Frank’s.

I hope at some point somebody comes up with the recipe, and while it will not be as good as sitting at Baywatch it will at least be a good reminder of being there. I could close my eyes when chewing and pretend that I could hear the sounds of the beach sitting with people we seem to run into on Orient.
I do not think Franks is that hot, I think it is more tangy and am really not a fan of the flavor. I will keep an eye on this thread hoping and if not I will have to show up at 5am to assist Andy in the Kitchen. Usually would not show up until at least 6am for coffee.
Cheers, Todd

That's an interesting question--do most people leave the shrimp with the shell on to cook it??

OK, I was thinking that might be the case. If you're not grilling though, you take it off??

sometimes I leave the shells on... for moisture... but at other times, when I make a sauce (usually a white sauce), like for shrimp scampi over pasta... I will make a stock from the shells (tails removed also) for the sauce base (only takes about 10 minutes)... I use chicken stock also... not water... add some half & half... oregano & basil & thyme & onions... and thicken with arrowroot or wondra & butter... YUMMM!!!

I always remove the tails for any kind of pasta (or "messy") dish with shrimp... so you just have to use your fork and not handle the tails and juggle a napkin all the time... and they do add a lot to the stock, because a lot of them have meat that is just wasted when served tail on... and the little pink bahstads can be slippery! (Oops, sorry dear, are you sure your is eye OK? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />)...

What about the tequila? The receipe definately has tequila and lime juice in it.
I rarely cook with the shell on the shrimp too messy to remove shell when eating if it has a sauce.
I like to make a seafood broth using the shells and combining water, wine, onion and herbs; reduce. I have also used that broth to add depth of flavor to the dish but like I said there is mucho-sauce in Baywatch's dish and while it's spicy it's not so hot that I can't eat it which is what happen the last time I made it to get extra sauce and the right consistency.

Sounds good Louise! After you finish experimenting and you think you have it just right, you can post it and I'll give it a try. Perhaps it could be an excuse for an extra trip! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />

Louise, I've never had the dish, but I do have a suggestion for you: instead of cooking the shrimp in the sauce, pan-saute them first and then just toss them in the finished sauce at the end. The shrimp will have a much better flavor and texture that way. When I pan-saute my shrimp, I just toss them in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and cook them in a hot saute pan until they release, turn and finish cooking. I'd make the sauce in this same pan after I removed the shrimp.
Also, not sure which hot sauce you used, but I find Frank's to be flavorful and not as hot as some.
Good luck experimenting! That's half the fun!
