Start by cutting the shrimp down the middle to remove any leftover guts and make smaller pieces for ceviche.

Roll the limes back and forth to get more juice out before cutting them.

Use a fork to extract juice from the limes after cutting them.

Add the shrimp to a bowl and mix in the lime juice, ensuring all shrimp are covered.

Chop the cilantro, keeping the bottom part for flavor, and add it to the bowl.

Dice the tomato and red onion into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl.

Slice the jalapeño into thin, small pieces and add it to the bowl.

Crush a few garlic cloves and chop them finely, then add to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients together, ensuring everything is well combined and covered in lime juice.

Wrap the bowl and refrigerate to allow the shrimp to 'cook' in the lime juice until fully opaque.

Optionally, add jalapeño vinegar for extra flavor before serving.

Serve the ceviche with chips or on tostadas, optionally with hot sauce.
