Behind the Recipe

We were somewhere in Monterrey, Mexico.

I forget exactly where, but all the locals kept raving about their “Camarón a la parrilla.” The problem is, we don’t speak a lick of Spanish, but that day, we didn’t have to. When this beautifully plated grilled shrimp cocktail arrived at our table, the language barrier had broken down, and we learned that everyone speaks flavor.

A Mexican twist on a crowd favorite, this recipe’s sure to hit the spot every time. And even better, it’s a shrimp cocktail recipe that anyone can make. Treat yourself after a long day of work. You deserve it.
