Peel and devein the shrimp. Then cut into small pieces, no larger than that ½ an inch. Place the shrimp in a non-reactive bowl then cover with the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for around 2 hours. While the shrimp is denaturing in the lime juice prep the remaining ingredients. Dice the tomatoes, cucumber and mango and combine with the cilantro and minced garlic and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper. When the shrimp is done denaturing it should be firm and opaque (white or pinkish rather than transparent). Mix the remaining ingredients with the shrimp and lime juice then add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with chips on tostadas or on its own!
