Ten stars! I made this exactly as written and, even though it says 6 servings, we two managed to eat it all! I served it over shrimp tacos in homemade fried corn tortilla shells. Amazing! When the shrimp was gone, I made a taco with black beans and the tomatillo salsa. Also delish! Then, we couldn't help but heap the remaining salsa over our white rice and also over our black beans. Gone.... This would probably be great scooped up with tortilla chips - guess we'll find out next time! The only change I'll probably make is to sub serranos for the jalapenos. No fault of the recipe, it's just that Florida jalapenos taste like bell peppers - no heat at all! Thanks for sharing!
