1 pound fresh shrimp
Remove the tails and place into a pan or ziplock bag. Remove tails by tugging gently on the tail, then chop shrimp into bite sized peices. Place shrimp into a flat bottom pan (so the marinade can better coat all pieces). Alternatively, you can use a gallon sized ziplock bag and flip it half way through. Add 1/2 cup of the lime juice and the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Kitchen Tips:
When bringing fish home, you must keep it on ice in the refrigerator if you won't be using it immediately. Make sure to buy the fish the day you plan to make ceviche.
Use thawed frozen fish if you're not confident in the freshness of fish available.
A flakier fillet, like flounder, snapper, or sole, or tender shellfish like scallops may only need to marinate for about 15 minutes. A hearty and dense fish, like Mahi-Mahi, could take closer to 50 minutes or an hour to be ready to eat.
