This here is a combination of things we love: shrimp, cream, citrus, spices. Fresh mint and cilantro. It’s like an easy sort of curry, but not heavy, and quick to toss on the grill. We love things that are easy to grill, and don’t require you to hover nervously with your tongs, meat thermometer at the ready.
The recipe comes from the awesome chef Michael Allemeier – he came up with it for the Dairy Farmers of Canada. Another great source of Canadian recipes!
