A vibrant and zesty dish where succulent shrimp meet a chorus of flavors – bright cilantro, pungent garlic, and the tangy kiss of lime, all simmered in a rich salsa and white wine reduction. A delightful twist on classic garlic shrimp, perfect served with warm tortillas or nestled atop a bed of fluffy rice.
