  1. Rick your the greatest!
    We stoped at your restaurant last fall via MN
    Can’t wait to come back

  2. This looks yummy, but I was looking for the recipes that you made when you went to one of the Mexican cities and when you made the same dish it look like fresh raw shrimp look so good with all the ingredients added to. Like I said don’t know if this is the one but the lime juice once completed made my mouth water. Love watching you in the evenings NY time.

    1. I am also looking for the recipe that you made when you went to street vendors in Mexico Cities and marinated the raw shrimp in lime juice for 1-4 hours depending on individual taste

      1. Hi Candy-usually when Chef Bayless travels and prepares a recipe in that city or town we do not publish those recipes. Can you tell me what season that was?
