Ceviche is a classic dish from Latin America that is made with fresh raw seafood that is 'cooked' in citrus juice. The acid in the juice partially denatures the proteins in the seafood, giving it a cooked texture without the need for heat. This shrimp ceviche recipe is a twist on the traditional dish, featuring plump, juicy shrimp that have been marinated in a tangy and flavorful citrus mixture. Serve it as a light lunch or dinner with a side of tortilla chips and guacamole, or as an appetizer with crostini or crackers.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, and tomatoes.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, and garlic powder.
3.Pour the juice mixture over the shrimp mixture and toss to combine.
4.Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5.Serve chilled, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
