The Jerk Store Called, They're Running Out of YOU

When making this recipe I discovered that I hate cilantro. Therefore I am leaving it OUT of MY recipe and replacing with parsley. NOTE: Recipe requires 12 hours of refrigeration so plan accordingly.

Ingredients:
  • 1lb raw shrimp
  • 1/2 c + 1/4 c fresh-squeezed lime juice

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small cucumber, quartered and sliced

Curing  the Shrimp:
1) Peel, devein and cut shrimp into 1/2" pieces.
2) In a zip-lock bag(s), combine shrimp,1/2 c  lime juice, and salt.
3) Seal bag, squeezing out the air.
4) Squeeze the bag around to mix ingredients together.
5) Put in a bowl so the bag can stand up and refrigerate for 12 hours.
6) Shrimp should be opaque white and pink, and firm all the way through when fully cured by the lime juice marinade.
7) Test for doneness by cutting a piece open. If not ready, return to fridge for one hour and repeat the process until done.
