It's summertime and this recipe is so flavorful it actually makes you smile just eating it. Because that's what your food should do for you, it should bring you joy. I have made this recipe using lemons instead of limes and parsley + oregano instead of cilantro and IT STILL WORKS.
Hope you love this dish as much as I do, let me know in the comments!
