My husband LOVES shrimp. It’s about the only seafood he’s crazy about. And I love salsa, so this is one of those duo recipes – make & mix without the shrimp then divide it and add the meat to his and leave mine without. Perfect!

I love the fresh ingredients used in this one and will be making it soon. When I do, I’ll be using Wild Planet Pink Shrimp.  Why?  Because it is MSC Certified and contains no phosphates or anything artificial.  My husband is worth it – he’s a keeper 🙂

Not a shrimp fan?  Toss in your own favorite crustacean and substitute some Old Bay Seasoning in place of the cumin for a unique taste and serve on soda crackers or similar.

Salsa featuring Wild Planet Wild Pink Shrimp
Salsa is so versatile - from mild to spicy and everything in between, but there are other ways to change it up. This recipe takes a traditional salsa and gives it a seafood spin.
