Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb raw shirmp peeled and deveined
  • 8 limes juice

  • ½ cucumber seeds removed
  • ½ small white onion

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Shrimp:Chop the raw shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a glass or non-reactive bowl.
  • Add Citrus Juice:Pour the lime and lemon juice over the shrimp until fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, or until the shrimp turns opaque and looks “cooked.”
  • Add the Veggies:Once the shrimp is ready, drain some of the excess citrus juice if preferred. Stir in the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro.
  • Season:Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Gently mix everything until well combined.
  • Chill and Serve:Let the ceviche chill for an additional 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold with tostadas, tortilla chips, or saltine crackers.
