Instructions

In a medium bowl whisk together tequila, lime juice, honey, hot sauce, garlic and olive oil until smooth.
Add shrimp to the bowl and fold to coat. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. With tongs gently remove the shrimp from the marinade and place shrimp on hot skillet (don't over crowd pan and cook in batches if necessary). Cook for one minute and then flip and cook for another minute.
Remove the cooked shrimp and set aside. In a small bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon of marinade with the corn starch to make a slurry.
Pour remaining marinade in the skillet and heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add the slurry to thicken the sauce cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Fold shrimp back into skillet to heat and serve immediately.
