Maybe this doesn't sound like the most exciting dish, but trust me, it is rich and deeply flavorful. I called this an appetizer, so don't be tempted to fill your plate or you'll have no room for the main course 🙂
This is very simple to make and the best thing is that the cilantro-parsley sauce can be made ahead!
Serve this dish with lots of crusty bread for sopping up the delicious sauce.
Buen provecho!

This looks so pretty, what vibrant colors. Nice to know the sauce is so flavorful! I'll have to try it with scallops. (shrimp for my daughter)

Hooray! I'm finally able to visit you. For some reason every time I click on your link it tells me the the link is broken. Must be something wrong with my computer.
I've have really been craving shrimp lately and this looks so wonderful to me right now. I'm afraid I would want to fill up on this and forget all about dinner.
