ED'S SOUTH OF THE BORDER MARINATED SHRIMP

This shrimp appetizer is fantastic! Cold and refreshing with the zingy flavors of lime, cilantro and a kick of jalapeno make this the perfect hot weather hors d'oeurve. The amount of peppers you add are up to you but this recipe was made with kids in mind (Southern kids who like a little spice in their food!). Try this with Margaritas or ice cold beer (lemonade for the kids)! Most of the cooking time is chilling time in the fridge. Next time we'll try grilling the shrimp instead of boiling for another flavor dimension.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER SHRIMP

Another "California Sizzles" recipe. Have not tried it yet, but I like the idea of boiling the shrimp first and then covering it with a spicy, lemony marinade. It is served chilled after marinating in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (not included in prep time). An easy and delicious appetizer.
