Ingredients

  • 1 lb Shrimp no shells, raw
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 grapefruit peeled and diced
  • 2 orange peeled and diced
  • 1 cucumber sliced and diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. While you're waiting for that, fill up a large bowl with ice and water and set aside.
  2. Place the shrimp in the boiling water and cook for one minute. Use a skimmer to remove the shrimp to the ice water bath. Once the shrimp have fully cooled, drain the water through a colander.
  3. Pour the lime juice, lemon juice and orange juice into a large bowl and add the shrimp. Give them a stir and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to marinate.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl of shrimp and stir everything together. Garnish with avocado before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lime, lemon, and orange juices to ensure bright, clean citrus flavors.
  • Consider preparing citrus supremes to add texture and enhance the presentation.
  • Cook the shrimp briefly and immediately chill in ice water to maintain a tender, firm texture.
  • Serve garnished with avocado for a creamy contrast to the tangy ceviche.
