This recipe has a wonderful flavor combination full of sweet, savory and tart elements.
Vegetables such as mushrooms, onions and bell peppers can be grilled on separate skewers to serve alongside the shrimp.
It can also be served with rice or place the shrimp and salsa in a warm tortilla to make a light and refreshing shrimp taco.
