Shrimp Campechana Recipe

A while back, a reader asked me about turning my cilantro salsa into a shrimp campechana. I had never even heard the term before, so I looked it up. Man did it sound good!!
So I told him what I would do to accomplish the switch in recipes, and then wondered if I should give it a shot myself. I think you all know my love for shrimp is great and vast. I have many shrimp recipes here including Coconut Popcorn shrimp, taco shrimp, shrimp fajitas, barbecue shrimp with cilantro pesto, Shrimp zucchini pasta, Paleo chimichurri grilled shrimp, Italian style shrimp, Shrimp and kale salad, barbecued southwestern chicken and shrimp skillet, and Thai-style shrimp.
Go ahead, call me bubba gump. It’s okay. 😉
So no surprise, I just couldn’t walk away from a new shrimp recipe. This one was a bit spicy and way too delicious to trust myself to eat by myself. So I called up a friend, and we had ourselves a little fiesta. Such a fun night! Delicious too…. 🙂

Are the shrimp in the finished dish raw or cooked?
Howard. I purchased them pre-cooked and frozen. Then thawed them for use.
