Cilantro Lime Mexican Bruschetta with Shrimp

This post could also be titled "Party In My Mouth".
The flavor combination of this recipe is the perfect blend of spice, zest, and tang.
Trust me, this one defiantly has a little kick. If you aren't the biggest fan of spice, I would recommend toning down the amount of jalapeño. 

I just happened across this recipe and it has instantly made the recipe hall of fame in our home.
This one is easy, tasty, and perfect for summer nights.
We ate with the window cracked and sounds of neighborhood kids streaming through the window.
