SOUTHWESTERN SHRIMP WITH SALSA



Southwestern Shrimp with Salsa image

I prefer grilling in the summer because you don't need to turn on the stove and heat up the house. If you want to get fancy, serve it in a chilled martini glass for a beautiful presentation. The rice and/or shrimp can be cooked a day ahead and refrigerated until serving. -Lindsay Matuszak, Reno, Nevada
