Yucatan Shrimp Recipe

"This is a dinner to evoke deep summer, when the heat lies heavy even at dusk and humidity wraps you like a blanket: shrimp tossed in garlic butter made fiery with Indonesian sambal and jalapeño, cut by lime, fragrant with cilantro It is a kind of scampi for the sun-kissed and sun-desirous alike, a vacation on a plate Add a mojito and a couple of beers..."
