Help! I need a shrimp and fruit salsa recipie!

[jan]

I was sure that about 2 months ago I found a recipie in CL for shrimp tsoft tacos with a fruit salsa topping. It was awasome! I made it, copied the recipie on an index card and now I can't find it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I wanted to serve it to guests this weekend.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I know the one you mean...I've never made it before, but I'm planning to this week! I know it's in one of the last few issues...it was the one with all the shrimp dishes. I'm thinking maybe the April issue? I'm at work, so I can't check...if no one has answered by tonight I'll let you know for sure!
