Description

This Easy Shrimp Ceviche recipe is a refreshing and flavorful dish perfect for a light summer meal or appetizer. The combination of fresh shrimp marinated in lime juice with vibrant vegetables and herbs creates a zesty and satisfying dish that is sure to impress.


Ingredients

Shrimp:

1 lb cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)

Lime Juice Marinade:

1 cup fresh lime juice (about 6–8 limes)

Vegetables:

1/2 cup diced red onion, 1 medium tomato (diced), 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped), 1 cucumber (peeled, seeded, and diced), 1 avocado (diced)

Seasoning:

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Marinate Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp and lime juice. Let sit in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to marinate and absorb the flavor.
  2. Add Vegetables: Add the red onion, tomato, cilantro, jalapeño, and cucumber. Gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, fold in the diced avocado. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or on tostadas.

Notes

  • You can use raw shrimp and marinate longer (about 1–2 hours) until fully opaque.
  • Adjust jalapeño to your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh lime juice is key—avoid bottled versions for best flavor.
