“BITE AND KISS” JERK SHRIMP WITH SOURED CREAM & MANGO SALSA

Valentine’s Day Recipes
Spicy jumbo shrimp marinated in jerk seasoning - grilled and served with a mango salsa using sweet pepper, celery and onion and then cooled out with a sour cream sauce with horseradish.  It is scorching hot, but cools down immediately with the contrast of the sour cream mixture and the tangy salsa – hence “bite and kiss”
