Guatemalan Ceviche
- 1 pound shrimp, the bigger the better, and the amount depends on the amount of shrimp that you want on a bite, and it can be either cooked or not, if not cooked the lime juice will cook it, but it has to marinate longer, if cooked do not cook for more than 5 minutes, or it will get rubbery.
