Baja Shrimp Recipe

The gentle interior of Jonathan’s Cork offers instant refreshment and the cozy rooms provide welcome respite from the blaring Tucson sun. It is a desert oasis where one may indulge in small pleasures such as the sound of ice clinking against a margarita glass or the crisp taste of a chilled picnic wine such as Arizona’s own Callaghan Dry Riesliing. As the days give way to amjestic susnets, you can relax and enjoy light, tantalizing dishes such as our zesty Baja Shrimp appetizer.
