Paleo Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
I know Spring will be here eventually but you would never know it from the snow storm we had yesterday. In APRIL no less. I wanted to make something fresh and fabulous to remind me that one day we will be in shorts having backyard parties and will feel the warm sun on my face.
This recipe is so easy. Look at all the colors. So there you go, it’s easy, pretty, Paleo, delicious, makes a great appetizer or summer salad. I made lettuce wraps with mine.
