Yield: 12 servings

1/2 lb tilapia or red snapper fillet

1/2 lb medium small shrimp, de-shelled and deveined

8 limes (enough juice to cover fish)

1 cup diced fresh tomato

1 small cucumber, deseeded and diced

1 green pepper, chopped

4 Tbsp chopped cilantro

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp oregano

2 jalapeno pepper, chopped (or more to suit your taste)

2 Tbsp white vinegar

1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped

2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

4 ounces low sodium tomato juice

Cut fish into 1/2 inch pieces. Put fish and shrimp in to casserole dish and cover with lime juice. Set in refrigerator overnight. Stir frequently to ensure all sides are able to marinate in lime juice.

The acid from the lime juice should cook the fish; however, you may prefer to cook in a pan on the stove. If using heat to cook, place fish (and lime juice) back into refrigerator to cool.

Pour off most of the lime juice, and place into a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well and refrigerate. Toss well and arrange in individual serving bowls.
