A fast, easy way to prepare fresh shrimps; best eaten hot. As it is not always easy to get fresh lime, lemon can be used instead of lime.
Serve along with a lemon-flavored rice or warm crusty bread.
Micro-Hint: to dry lemon or orange rind, simply arrange a little rind into a glass bowl and microwave rind on 'HIGH' for 1/2 to 1 minute, stirring once.
