Notes
- Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use fresh lime and lemon juice for the most vibrant flavor.
- Serve Immediately: While you can prepare it ahead, serving Shrimp Ceviche soon after it's ready ensures the texture stays optimal.

- Balance the Acidity: Adjust the citrus juice quantities to taste.
- Spice it Up: For a spicier dish, add more jalapeño or hot sauce.
