Chop the shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces. If using raw shrimp, marinate in lime juice until it turns opaque and firm.
In a medium bowl, combine red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeños (if using).
Add the shrimp, then pour in lime juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 1 hour) to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled in bowls or with tortilla chips, tostadas, or spooned over tacos.

Add diced avocado or mango for extra creaminess and sweetness.

Substitute part of the lime juice with orange juice for a milder flavor.

Use serrano peppers or hot sauce for extra heat.

Mix in cooked scallops or crab meat for a seafood twist.

Serve in lettuce cups for a lighter presentation.
