Step 1

If using frozen shrimp, add it to a medium bowl and cover with warm tap water. Let thaw for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In the meanwhile, squeeze juice from limes and add to a large bowl. Please do not use bottled juice.

Step 3

Drain shrimp and give it a gentle squeeze. Dice it and add to the bowl with lime juice.

Step 4

Marinate: Cooked shrimp for 15 minutes; raw shrimp for 1.5 hours or until opaque and pink. Acid will "cook" the shrimp.

Step 5

While shrimp is marinating, dice tomato, avocado, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno and add to another bowl. Refrigerate if making ceviche with raw shrimp. I also recommend to dice avocado right before combining shrimp with veggies to avoid brown avocado.

Step 6

Add vegetables to the bowl with shrimp, stir and add salt and pepper to taste. Remember tortilla chips are salty. So I would salt after the taste test with a chip.

Step 7

Serve cold with chips, on a tostada and even in tacos.
