1Place the shrimp in a glass bowl, cover with the lime juice and marinate at room temperature for 2 1/2 hours.
2Heat the oil in a small skillet, add the garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Discard the garlic and let the oil cool. Chop the tomatoes, removing the seeds, but reserving the juice. Place in a large glass bowl, add the onion, cilantro, tomato sauce, Buffalo sauce, oregano, salt, pepper, chilis and olives. Add the oil from the skillet and set aside.
3Rinse the shrimp 3 times in cold water. Cover with water, let stand for 5 minutes and rinse again. Add to tomato mixture. Correct the seasonings.
4Garnish with whole olives. Serve cold with lime wedges and salt crackers.
The concept is to use raw shrimp or other fresh fish that is cut into 1/2 inch cubes. An alternative is to use cooked shrimp.
