Lime slices for serving
Place all the ingredients in a mini food processor or blender, mix/blend until all the ingredients are completely crushed and the sauce is smooth. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. The salsa is best if used the same day it’s prepared.
Serve shrimp with lime slices and dipping sauces, with your choice of sides, or on top of your favorite salad.
