All year long I’ve been coming up with new recipes featuring pierogies as part of my ongoing partnership with Mrs T’s Pierogies. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it (wink, wink). No seriously, it’s been delicious and fun!

I was a pierogy novice when this whole thing started and now count myself as a committed fan! To catch you up we’ve made:

  • Spanish-Style Pork and Pierogy Stew
  • Pierogy Skillet Enchiladas with Chicken
  • Grilled Pierogy Mexican Street Corn
  • Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas with Pierogies and Avocado Pico de Gallo

And today, I bring you Tequila Lime Shrimp and Pierogies. A simple sauté of the under-an-hour variety that is the essence of sophisticated ease.

Tips for Making Tequila Lime Shrimp and Pierogies

This is the perfect starter recipe for someone who may be unfamiliar with pierogies. They really are so simple to make: Boil a pot of water (like you would for pasta), pour in the frozen pierogies, let them cook (they only take a few minutes), drain and stir them into the sauce!

While you wait for the water to boil, make the tequila lime shrimp. If you hate peeling and deveining shrimp like I do, buy shrimp already prepped. Next, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil, add fresh tomatoes if they are in season, if not a can of fire-roasted tomatoes add a nice smoky touch.

For the tequila, you don’t need to use your most expensive añejo, but make sure it’s at least made from 100% agave. I suggested reposado tequila in the recipe, but if blanco is all you have, that would be great too. Anyhoo, add your tequila, let simmer and add a little chili powder, lime zest, and fresh-squeezed lime juice.

Toss in the boiled pierogies. (I used Mrs T’s Sour Cream and Chive Pierogies for this recipe, but any of their other varieties would be good here. Finish with some creamy butter and fresh chopped chives. Divine!
