Method
- 1 Peel the shrimp, then split them lengthwise and soak them in ice-salt water for 15 minutes.
- 2 Blend jalapeño peppers with lime juice and salt to make a clear green sauce.
- 3 Soak the shrimp in the green sauce for 15 minutes until the meat turns opaque pink, indicating it's cooked by the acid.
- 4 Soaking the shrimp for more than 25 minutes will make the meat mushy and dry, like overcooking.
- 5 Fry whole corn tortilla leaves for 90 seconds until flat and crispy.
- 6 Arrange the shrimp, cucumber wedges, red onion, and avocado on the pastry sheet, then sprinkle with herbs.
