This exciting and fresh summer shrimp recipe is brought to you by Princess Cruises. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy this delicious appetizer because of all the fresh ingredients that can be found around this time of year. For example, the tomatillo, also known as the Mexican green tomato, is great this time of year. They should be purchased when firm and then can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. The tomatillo’s lemony taste makes it great for pairing with seafood, like shrimp!
