Notes
- Do use raw shrimp. Large-sized shrimp will be great.
- Do not overcook the shrimp. It is tempting, but shrimp doesn't need long to cook; otherwise, the texture will be tough and rubbery.
- Lime tastes best with this dish, but if you only have lemons, then use lemons.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
