  1. I added some horseradish and served this on a bed of lettuce with salsa and thrououghly enjoyed it. Did not bother with the chips!
     
  2. Loved the flavor of the limes and cilantro. I actually used this as a marinade for steak fajitas - absolutely wonderful!
     
  3. I found the shrimp to be a little tough being "cooked" twice. I used uncooked shrimp and it turned a lovely shade of pink in the lime juice and were very tender. Its like making Ceveche.
     
  4. Delectable! I served on little butter lettuce leaves with cold sesame noods (Recipe #95956). Perfect match, excellent summer meal. Will definitely be making this shrimp again and again!! Thank so much!! :)
     
  5. These were great. Followed the recipe as it was written. Wouldn't make any changes. Fast, easy and elegant! Thanks!
