Instructions

  1. Make shrimp: In a straight-sided sauté pan, combine 4 cups water, tequila, lime, salt and peppercorns; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover; simmer for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to barest simmer and add shrimp. Cook until just pink, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat; let shrimp sit in pan for 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and let cool. Peel shrimp, leaving tails on. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

  2. Make crema: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest and juice and honey; season generously with salt.

  3. Arrange shrimp on a platter, with crema for dipping. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.

Why this Tequila-Poached Shrimp with Lime Crema Recipe | MyRecipes works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
