- Wine Recommendation: That grape can quench the fire of this sauce and yet cradle the tender shrimp flavor Sauvignon Blanc to the rescue!
- Beer Recommendation: A Mexican lager is well-versed in handling fiery spices and simple shellfish, and really comes alive when the food is grilled. Ole!
- Comments: A quick and delicious recipe to toss together on busy week nights.
- Note: If using wooden skewers, soak in water thirty min before using so ends will not burn during grilling time.
