Does the marinade cook the shrimp?
While we are not directly cooking the raw shrimp in this recipe, the shrimp will be completely safe to eat. The citrus from the lime helps to break down the proteins in the shrimp leaving the shrimp safe for consumption. This marinating time turns the flesh to opaque pink and destroys any harmful bacteria.
