Pour lime juice over cooked shrimp and mix well in a bowl. Refrigerate shrimp for 20 minutes or more for marination. Remove from refrigerator and drain off excess lime juice. Add chopped tomatoes, cucumber, onions and cilantro or parsley to marinated shrimp. Season the mixture with the right amount of salt and cracked pepper.
