About
Is the Shrimp & Avocado Salsa Tex-Mex or something else altogether? Well, no matter the answer, it's no question how delicious it tastes. The sweet and savory shrimp pairs wonderfully with the creamy bites of avocado, the spicy jalapeño, and the bold flavors of cilantro and lime. Piled on burritos and tacos, or served as a snack with tortilla chips, Shrimp & Avocado Salsa is just fantastic!
