So, is this something that you'd serve taco-style? Or with rice? My family loves shrimp, so we're always on the lookout for good shrimp recipes.

I would think w/rice would be good. Maybe even in romaine lettuce leaves for lettuce wraps? Maybe even as a salad.

Someone had asked me to submit this recipe so I did. Can't remember who it was, though. Sorry I don't have more information. I haven't made this one.

It was me Cassi!
I made this last night and it is superb.. I added some extra jalapeno and served on top of wild rice.. YUMMY!

I should have known it was you! Sorry, I've been so busy at work that I don't know where my brain is.

This sounds fantastic! I would perhaps substitute the jalepeno for NM Green Chile, but either way it sounds like a real winner!!
