Ingredients

1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
2 roma tomatoes, seeded, diced
1 cup English cucumber, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

1

Cut 1 lb peeled, deveined large raw shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a non-reactive bowl.
2

Pour 1 cup fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice over the shrimp, making sure all pieces are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until the shrimp turns pink and opaque throughout (this is acid-curing, not heat cooking).
3

Drain about half the citrus liquid from the shrimp, leaving the rest for flavor.
4

Fold in 1/2 cup finely diced red onion, 2 seeded, diced roma tomatoes, 1 cup diced English cucumber, 1 seeded, minced jalapeno, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
5

Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning or add more lime juice as desired.
6

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or tostadas.
