Step 1
Pat shrimp dry, then cut each one in half lengthwise so the lime juice can reach every surface.
Step 2
Place shrimp in a bowl and pour fresh lime juice over it until fully submerged.
Step 3
Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes. The acid will firm up the shrimp and turn it opaque.
Step 4
Stir in red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 5
Serve immediately in a chilled bowl with tortilla chips and a cold mango soda on the side.
