Marinate in lime juice: In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine chopped shrimp with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño and fresh lime juice. Stir to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse - stir every 10 minutes.

Serve: Carefully drain on the excess juice. Stir in cilantro and enjoy with a glass of Lot 205 Vinho Verde.
