(Salpicon de Camarones)
The word salpicon, which comes from the Spanish sal, salt, and picar, to chop, refers, in classic French cooking, to a mince of poultry, game, or vegetables bound with a sauce. In Mexico, however, it can mean anything from a shredded beef salad in the north to this citrusy shrimp appetizer we found—served with Salsa Verde—at Restaurante Doña Lala in Tlacotalpan.
