I made it last weekend for a family bbq, and I ended up regretting not making a double batch. Everyone loved it. So good!

Hi Joe,
Thank you for bringing up the lemon/green lemon/lime question. For this recipe I used Mexican lemons, which are the green ones. They are more commonly referred as lemons in Mexico rather than limes. The yellow, sweeter lemons are only found commercially in Northwest Mexico and those are referred to as limones reales. The topic can be a confusing one but I think we are referring to the same type of (green)lemon/lime. Thanks for visiting!

From my experience…limes should be used. I think it must have been a typo in the ingredients list. I happened to notice the same thing and looked at the comments so see if it had been addressed and when it wasn’t, I decided to go ahead and respond.
The best Mexican Shrimp Cocktail I’ve ever tried has been at Nuevo Vallarta in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Good Luck!

I’m a little confused. The recipe calls for lemon juice, but the picture shows 3 limes?
