Add diced paquino tomatoes to a non-reactive bowl.

Add minced garlic and enough lime juice to completely submerge the shrimp, reserving some lime juice for later.

Press down with saran wrap to eliminate air bubbles and refrigerate for 1 to 2.5 hours.

After one hour, check the shrimp; it should be plump and tender with no rawness.

Season the lime juice with salt, ground cumin seed, and ground coriander seed, mixing well.

Taste the mixture to adjust salt if necessary.

Combine the shrimp, garlic, and lime juice with the bowl of diced vegetables, mixing well.

Add jalapeno powder to the mixture for heat, adjusting to taste.
