Ingredients:

• 1 pound of shrimp or fish (or any other seafood)
• 5 limes
• 5 tomatoes, cubed
• 2 onions, diced
• Worcestershire sauce
• Cilantro, diced finely
• Salt and pepper
• Avocado (optional)  
• Hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

Clean the shrimp, take off the head, and peel it. If using fish, cut it into bite size pieces.

Place shrimp or fish in a bowl and add lime juice. Mix constantly until the shrimp or fish changes color and looks cooked. There is no need to pre-cook the shrimp or fish because the lime juice cooks them.

Add tomatoes, onions, and cilantro to the bowl and mix well. Add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, depending on preference. Add salt and pepper. Mix all of the ingredients well.

Additionally, you can add a few drops of hot sauce of your choice or add cubed avocados at the end.  

Serve with saltine crackers.
