Author Notes
The result of one of the few truly HOT days in San Francisco, I knew by 10am that I needed to come up with something chilled to eat for dinner and that preferably that something would include shrimp. This recipe is best when thrown together ahead of time and left for the flavors to become more friendly in the fridge for a few hours while you're outside enjoying some sunshine. I hope you enjoy! —byb
