Ingredients

  • 1 pound cooked shrimp * peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice about 3 limes
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice about 1 large orange
  • 4 roma tomatoes seeds removed and diced
  • 2 jalapeños seeds and vein removed, minced
  • 1 cup diced jicama or diced peeled apple
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 avocado pitted and diced
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Chop the shrimp into ½ inch pieces and transfer to a bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon, lime, and orange juice to combine. Pour ½ cup of the citrus juice over the shrimp and toss to combine. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the juice for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the tomato, jalapeño, jicama (or apple), cilantro and red onion to the shrimp. Toss the ingredients to combine and allow to marinade for an additional 10 minutes. Stir in the avocado and remaining juices.
  4. Season the ceviche with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, if desired.

Notes

  • Do not use lemon, lime or orange juice from a container. Fresh squeezed is recommended for best results.
  • Shrimp Ceviche is best enjoyed the same day it's made. 
  • *We prefer to use cooked shrimp in this recipe as not everyone has access to fresh shrimp. The FDA recommends that children, elderly, immune-compromised, and pregnant women do not eat undercooked seafood (including ceviche).
  • If using raw shrimp, cut it into bite sized pieces and marinate in the citrus juices at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours before adding the other ingredients.
