Easy Shrimp Ceviche
Description
This ceviche starts by cutting cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp into small pieces, then marinating them in a mixture of fresh lime and lemon juice for half an hour. The acidity imparts a tangy flavor and enhances the shrimp's texture.
Freshly chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and tomato add brightness and texture, while creamy diced avocado brings a smooth balance. A pinch of salt seasons the dish lightly without overpowering the fresh ingredients.
The ceviche is served chilled, making it a refreshing choice for warm weather or as a light starter. Adding diced cucumber provides crunch, and minced jalapeño can increase heat if desired.
For preparing raw shrimp ceviche, double the citrus juice and marinate longer (60 to 90 minutes) until the shrimp turns opaque and pink, letting the citrus "cook" the shrimp naturally.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp cooked, peeled, and deveined, raw
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 2 Roma tomato diced
- 1 avocado diced
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut the shrimp into 1/4 inch pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour in lime juice and lemon juice. Cover and let marinate 30 minutes.
- Stir in cilantro, red onion, tomato, and avocado. Season with a pinch of salt, or to taste. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Add 1 cup diced cucumber for additional crunch in the ceviche if preferred.
- Adjust spiciness by adding up to one minced jalapeño when mixing ingredients.
- To use raw shrimp, increase citrus juice to 1 cup total and marinate in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes until shrimp turns pink and opaque.
- Cover and chill ceviche before serving to enhance flavor melding and refreshment.
