Ingredients
1 pound raw medium or large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the shrimp.
Allow the shrimp to poach until they are just turning opaque – about 2 minutes.
Drain the shrimp and run under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside to drain and cool completely.
Dice the shrimp into small pieces. Add to a large bowl.
Pour in the lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, pineapple, cilantro, and hot sauce. Toss to combine.
Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Toss again.
Cover the bowl tightly and chill for at least one hour or up to 4 hours.
Serve cold with tortilla chips, if desired.
