Now, some words of wisdom when making this recipe: Make sure you don’t overcook your shrimp! You want to initially cook them for 3-4 minutes, not more! Once it’s pink and opaque, add your garlic and cook for one more minute. Again, watch your shrimp carefully!

When you’re making your salsa, feel free to add jalapenos if you like a little extra kick! If not, you can absolutely leave them out.

If you can, try and make the salsa 2-6 hours ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator so the flavors have time to really marinate.

Note: Feel free to dance as you make this dish to get yourself into the tropical mood!
