This traditional Mexican recipe comes from the gulf coast city of Veracruz where it is typically made with red snapper. We have adapted this recipe to work with shrimp, which makes up a large part of the coastal cuisine in Mexico. This recipe is tangy, briney, and bright thanks to tomatoes, capers, olives, and pickled peppers.
