## Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

This **Shrimp Ceviche** is a refreshing and zesty dish that combines shrimp with fresh vegetables and citrus juices, making it perfect for a light appetizer or a summer meal. Here’s how to make it.

### Ingredients

- **1 pound raw shrimp**, peeled, deveined, and tails removed

- **3/4 cup fresh lime juice** (about 6 large limes)

- **1/2 cup fresh lemon juice** (about 3 lemons)

- **1/2 cup red onion**, finely diced

- **1 jalapeño**, seeded and minced (adjust for spice preference)

- **1 large tomato**, diced

- **1 avocado**, diced

- **1/2 cup fresh cilantro**, chopped

- **Salt and pepper**, to taste

- **Tortilla chips**, for serving

### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Shrimp**:

   - If using raw shrimp, chop them into small pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp with the lime juice and lemon juice. Ensure the shrimp is fully submerged in the citrus juices. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

2. **Mix the Vegetables**:

   - While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the other ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the red onion, jalapeño, tomato, avocado, and cilantro.

3. **Combine Ingredients**:

   - Once the shrimp is ready, drain some of the excess citrus juice if desired (you can leave some for flavor). Add the shrimp to the bowl with the vegetables. Gently toss everything together.

4. **Season and Serve**:

   - Season the ceviche with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.

### Tips

- For a milder ceviche, remove the seeds from the jalapeño or reduce the amount used.

- If you prefer cooked shrimp, simply marinate them in lime and lemon juice for about 15 minutes before mixing in the vegetables.

- This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
