Ingredients
- 1 pound medium to large raw shrimp peeled, deveined, tails removed, and chopped into ¼" pieces (I use 31/40 count shrimp)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- zest from 1 large lime
- 1 cup peeled and diced Persian or English cucumber
- 1 cup seeded and diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 large jalapeño minced (add as little or as much as you like)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place chopped shrimp in a large bowl. Add half of the lime juice and fold to combine. Let stand for 15-30 minutes, letting the lime's natural acidity "cook" the shrimp. When all the shrimp turns from translucent to opaque (white/pink), it's ready.
- Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Add this mixture to the shrimp and mix well to incorporate.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or saltine crackers, plus extra lime wedges. If you like avocado, dice some up and fold it into the ceviche right before serving - it's a great addition!
Notes
- To store. Shrimp ceviche should always be eaten within 2 days. However, the sooner you eat it, the better it will be. The best ceviche is enjoyed within an hour or two of preparing it - for the very freshest flavor. The lime will continue to cook the shrimp as it sits, causing the shrimp to become chewier and less tender. Avocado, if you add it, may also start to brown or turn a bit mushy. So, for the very best results, just prepare the ceviche right before eating it.
