Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients--more than half are spices. Crisp jicama adds texture, and you can leave the seeds in the chiles for an extra hot salsa. Serve this dish with cooked rice to balance the earthy-flavored shirmp and firey-sweet salsa.

There is a lot going on in this recipe - toasty, earthy spices on the shrimp and tons of flavor in the salsa. The serranos were almost too spicy, but offset by the cool fruity flavor of the clementine. Both the shrimp and the salsa were so good, but I'm not necessarily sure they paired great together. I would serve on separate nights next time to let each one shine. Served over hot cooked rice. I think I picked up on a slight typo. You want 6 clementines, not 6 cups clementines - otherwise there is way more salsa than the recommended serving.
