Shrimp Ceviche
Shrimp Ceviche is a refreshing dish made by marinating diced raw shrimp in lime and lemon juices until the shrimp turn pink and are gently "cooked" by the acidity. The ceviche is then mixed with fresh ingredients like chopped tomato, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and avocado to create a bright and zesty flavor with varied textures and a touch of heat.

Notes
- Use fresh, quality raw shrimp peeled and deveined for the best texture in the ceviche.
- Let shrimp marinate in the citrus juices until they turn pink, about 10 minutes, to ensure proper "cooking."
- Refrigerate the ceviche for at least 20 minutes before serving to develop flavor fully.
- Citrus zest adds a subtle brightness—include it when mixing the ceviche.
- Click on times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer to track marination accurately.
