Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry, then cut each one in half lengthwise so the lime juice can reach every surface.

  2. Step 2

    Place shrimp in a bowl and pour fresh lime juice over it until fully submerged.

  3. Step 3

    Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes. The acid will firm up the shrimp and turn it opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately in a chilled bowl with tortilla chips and a cold mango soda on the side.
