Ingredients

• 1 pound of raw shrimp, deveined and peeled
• 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup of diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup of diced red onion
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tortilla chips or lettuce leaves, for serving

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice and lemon juice. Add the raw shrimp and let it marinate in the citrus juices for about 15-20 minutes. The acid in the juices will 'cook' the shrimp.
2. While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeno pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro.
3. After the shrimp has marinated, remove them from the citrus juices and place them on a cutting board. Chop the shrimp into small pieces.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stir everything together until well combined. Allow the ceviche to sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
6. Serve the easy shrimp ceviche with tortilla chips for scooping or over a bed of lettuce leaves for a lighter option. Enjoy!
