Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
- Marinate: Place into a large glass (non-reactive) bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. The acidity from the juices will "cook" the raw shrimp slightly and flavor the cooked shrimp. Allow this to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Add the Crunch: Add the red onion, jalapeño, cucumber, and tomatoes to the shrimp. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated with the citrus juices. Let this mixture sit for another 10 to 15 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Final Touches: Right before serving, stir in the chopped cilantro and avocado. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the ceviche chilled or at room temperature, spooned generously over tostadas or accompanied by tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- Shrimp Ceviche is best enjoyed the same day it’s made. *I prefer to use cooked shrimp in this recipe. Additionally, the FDA recommends that children, the elderly, the immune-compromised, and pregnant women do not eat undercooked seafood (including ceviche). **If using raw shrimp, cut it into bite-sized pieces and marinate it in the citrus juices for at least 30 minutes before adding the other ingredients.
- Marinating Time: If you prefer a firmer texture in your shrimp, minimize the marinating time. For more tender shrimp, let it marinate a bit longer.
- Adjusting Heat: Control the heat level by adjusting the amount of jalapeño or removing it entirely if you prefer a milder ceviche.
