This is like a Mexican seviche or ceviche except the shrimps are pre-cooked. It was very easy to do according to the directions, but my husband and I both thought it lacked a little in flavor for our tastes. So I doubled the seasonings and amount of cilantro while keeping everything else the same. I also added one small green chili, one small red chili, and one jalapeno pepper very finely chopped. Thanks for posting, now I don't have to go to the local Bodega when I want this. Made for ZWT5.
