Notes
Using precooked shrimps as I cannot get fresh seafood to feel comfortable serving it almost raw. And because of food safety precautions, since serving raw or not well cooked fish or seafood can carry bacteria.
If you live in a coastal area and you have the chance to get super fresh fish and shrimp that is sushi-grade then I would suggest to use raw and marinade inside the fridge to keep proper temperature.
