1 If you’re using frozen shrimp and/or scallops, thaw and rinse them. If the scallops are as large as an egg or larger, cut them in half and set aside.
2 In a small mixing bowl, stir together the lime juice, lemon juice, cilantro, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the tequila, garlic, hot sauce, cumin, and oregano. Add the shrimp and scallops.
3 Cover and chill for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4 Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the onion and peppers over medium-high heat in the remaining oil until they begin to get soft. Add the shrimp-scallop mixture to the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes, until some of the liquid has burned off and the scallops are cooked.
5 Warm wraps as per package directions. Evenly distribute cheese and the Tequila Lime Shrimp & Scallops over the 6 Ivory Teff Wraps and roll burrito style.
Optional: Stuff with additional fillings: sliced avocados, sour cream, shredded lettuce, olives, or roasted veggies like red and yellow bell pepper, zucchini, portabella mushroom or eggplant. Try adding diced pineapple and sweet Maui onions.
