Notes

  • Best served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • For extra heat, add minced jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Use pre-cooked shrimp to save time—just chop and toss with lime juice.
  • Serve in lettuce cups for a low-carb option or over rice for a heartier dish.
