Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 1/4 cup of the orange juice, and 1/4 cup of the lime juice. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or until shrimp are pink and opaque (no longer translucent). The citric acids will "cook" the raw shrimp. Drain. Discard juice.
In a large bowl, fold together watermelon, red onion, jalapeño pepper, orange zest, lime zest, and remaining orange and lime juices. Sprinkle salt over the top, and then add the shrimp, cilantro, and mint. Fold gently to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors mingle. Serve with your favorite chips.

Notes

from a farmgirl's dabbles
To store. Ceviche is best eaten on the same day it's made. But I've very much enjoyed leftovers for another day or two. :) You can keep them in the fridge in an airtight container.
