Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: Place the chopped raw shrimp in a glass or non-reactive bowl. Pour the lime juice over the shrimp, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turns opaque.

- Serve: Enjoy chilled with tortilla chips, tostadas, or lettuce cups.
