Now I wanted to point out before I post this recipe I HATE seafood. In all forms. Unless it’s tuna fish with so much mayonnaise and relish you can’t taste the tuna I’m not interested. For the sake of being a good blogger I ate one of these while I was in New York so I could give you a fair assessment. Biting into the shrimp did not make me happy but the salsa was INCREDIBLE. So I may try this recipe later… with chicken.
