Margarita Shrimp and Scallops

How about something that reminds me of warm sunny days on the beach sipping something cool... Hubby actually gets the credit for this delishiousness but he doesn't have a blog so i get to swipe it (swiper no swiping! - that was for all the parents of toddlers out there)


Anyway -- hope you enjoy this as much as i did!

While seafood is marinating, make salsa (which also goes very well with just about anything!
