This recipe was originally published several years ago in Chile Pepper Magazine. Their new website is under construction right now but you can take a look at their magazine in my amazon store here on this blog.
I might have tweaked the original recipe a little but not much.
I have subscribed to Chile Pepper for many years and have found lots of great recipes there during that time. Not all of the recipes in the magazine are for spicy foods- many salads and side dishes are included too.
I usually serve this Shrimp Salsa with tortilla chips- the combination of flavors and the crunch of the chips is very nice.
I have also used this recipe as a filling in spears of endive for a totally healthy appetizer.
A mixed salad with Shrimp Salsa over it would make a great light lunch or dinner- you could top it with strips of crisply fried tortillas to add crunch.
The possibilities are unlimited!

I made this yesterday and it was EXCELLENT! Good one Andrea!
Andrea,
This was a hit at our family reunion this past weekend. I had made a double batch of it, and even the kids (who turn their noses up at fish) were gobbling it down. I am excited to add it to my pot-lucking repertoire ! Thank you so much for sharing it. !

Maggie,
Thank you for your very nice comments! I will be posting more easy dip ideas that are healthy in the near future. Also watch for a Posole recipe that I make using pork- Yum!
What a beautiful party recipe. Very festive and colorful and unusual. Great idea as we head into the holiday season and naturally gluten free.
Thank you Wendy! Wait until you taste this salsa- it is addictive! I need to get busy and come up with some variations that go different flavor directions too.
Hi there. I think this is my first visit to your blog. We love salsa and shrimp, but I’ve honestly never thought to serve them together. I think I’ll have to try this recipe soon. Thanks so much for sharing it!
