Püf Noktaları
For the best flavor, let the shrimp marinate for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 1 hour, as the lime juice can start to 'cook' the shrimp. Use fresh lime juice for the brightest taste and avoid bottled versions if possible. This marinade can also be used for chicken or vegetables for a delicious twist. Pair with a light salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
