Scrape down sides so butter is evenly whipped. Add garlic, tequila, lime zest, salt, pepper and coriander. Beat until mixture is smooth and fluffy, another 3 to 4 minutes. on large piece of plastic wrap, spread compound butter in a log shape with a rubber spatula. Roll butter in tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends of plastic wrap to seal. Refrigerate or freeze until thoroughly chilled and hard. Slice into -inch coins. Freeze leftover butter and serve with fish or veggies too. Serve over steaks while still hot so butter melts and oozes and creates a sauce.
Shrimp1. in a bowl, toss the shrimp with cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large saut pan over high heat. Add shrimp and saut until shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Steak1. Preheat grill on high.
2. Brush the steaks with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks over medium high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until medium rare or temperature cooked to your doneness. Serve the steaks with lime and coriander compound butter and shrimp.
