    It is officially Spring and you can't imagine how happy I am! I feel a little bit bad that winter is gone because I really enjoy cooking and eating winter food, but I absolutely love Spring. It feels just like my home city, Medellin, which is known as "the city of eternal Spring"!

    The trees are beginning to bud and the  flowers are blooming. There is something special about this season, there are so many things to love about spring. Don't you think?

    Now, let me introduce you to my Shrimp and Salmon Skewers. They are a fantastic and simple appetizer and with the orange sauce, it is a combination made in heaven.

    The orange sauce or salsa de naranja can be used with your favorite meat as well. My aunt always made this sauce in Colombia for parties and I just love it.

    Buen provecho!

      Wow, I thought that this would be barbequed and was kind of disappointed as we don't barbeque often, living in an apartment, but since it's in the oven it is definitely something I would love to make. Love all the ingredients. I made a salmon recipe combined with orange juice only recently and thought I was nuts to make this combination but it did turn out to be delicious and hope to post it soon.

      aside from the fact that so much seafood is involved and i'm woefully averse to it, i'm smitten with this! so many shades of orange--it's beautiful, erica. even a fish-hater can appreciate that! 🙂
