Citrus Shrimp Ceviche
Description
This ceviche starts with shrimp briefly boiled and shocked in ice water to stop cooking, preserving a tender texture. The shrimp then marinate in freshly squeezed citrus juices—lime, lemon, and orange—allowing the acids to impart flavor. Diced grapefruit and oranges add sweet, juicy notes, while cucumber provides crunch and red onion adds sharpness. Jalapeno pepper introduces mild heat balanced by the freshness of cilantro.
The result is a vibrant dish showcasing a combination of citrus flavors and fresh vegetables with tender but firm shrimp. Serving chilled enhances its refreshing, palate-cleansing qualities, suitable as a light starter or summer dish.
Garnishing with avocado adds creaminess to contrast the acidity. Preparing citrus segments as supremes adds visual appeal and texture. Using freshly squeezed citrus juice ensures bright, clean flavors.
