Joanne's Spicy Shrimp Salsa

"This is my picky husband's favorite salsa. Sometimes he'll just eat the salsa by itself as a salad! This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, "The Junior League Celebration Cookbook." Cooking time is refrigeration time."

  1. WOW! I love this stuff. I only used 1 jalapeno and had no garlic or cumin available. I also increased the cilantro cause I love it. I used medium shrimp and it was fantastic. Thanks for posting. Oh...also yummy to add some cocktail sauce for a fun twist.
     
  2. I can`t say I follow this recipe as directed but did add the shrimp to the salsa that I had made this summer from garden fresh produce. This was very good!

I'm a self-taught home cook who reads cookbooks like a novel. Then I try out all different nationalities of recipes, especially the more complicated ones...I love a challenge! I entertain often and enjoy cooking for others more than for myself. If my friends and family are happy eating my cooking, then I'm ecstatic!
