Instructions
- Peel, devein and cut shrimp into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Lay out shrimp in the bottom of glass baking dish. Pour lemon and lime juice over them and refrigerate for 2 hours. The acid from the lemons and limes will "cook" the shrimp.
- Toss prepared shrimp with the remaining ingredients and refrigerate for one more hour or longer.
Notes
- Ceviche does well for up to 24-30 hours in the refrigerator. If you leave it much longer, the acidity of the citrus juices will continue to denature the proteins and leave you with a mushy result.

- While peeling and deveining shrimp doesn’t take a ton of time, not having to deal with it at all feels like a little gift.
- In order for the shrimp to “cook” in the citrus juices, they need at least 2 hours. I then like to add all the remaining ingredients in to marinate and release their flavors. After this addition, another hour of marinating time is recommended for the best results.
- Citrus juice is acidic, which means it can interact with certain types of metals and create a flavor akin to a 9-volt battery. YUCK! Make sure you choose a glass, plastic, melamine, tin, ceramic, or stainless steel vessel to marinate your ceviche. Avoid copper, aluminum, and uncoated iron.
