Oh how I love this recipe. Ok, I love ANY type of salsa… from traditional and spicy to fruity and flavorful.
This is one of those recipes that is just packed with so many layers of flavor! As long as you scrape all of the seeds from the jalapeños, it is not spicy.
I usually have frozen shrimp on hand, so I make this a lot. Of course it’s a great appetizer, but it’s pretty good wrapped up in a tortilla or served atop a nice green salad too.
If you serve it up as a traditional salsa, also consider using toasted baguette slices or sturdy pita chips for something different than tortilla chips.
