San Pedro Shrimp Tray Recipe
San Pedro shrimp is a delicacy of the region and the inspiration for this tasty seafood recipe. Even if you’ve never tried it, you might think you know everything there is to know about San Pedro shrimp. But I’m here to tell you that you’ve got it all wrong. Shamefully wrong. This shrimp recipe was actually named after food from my seafood haul, which includes the species Proa Proa, after which this recipe is named.
