How to Make It
In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the shrimp just until they begin to curl, about 1 minute. Drain and let cool slightly, then peel and devein. Cut the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces.
In a heatproof bowl, toss the onion with 2 teaspoons of salt; let stand for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of boiling water, let stand for 10 minutes and drain well.
In a large glass bowl, toss the onion with the tomatoes, garlic, chiles, red and green bell peppers, cilantro and orange and lime juices. Stir in the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Season the seviche with salt and pepper and serve chilled with a bowl of popcorn passed alongside.
