Shrimp Ceviche
Description
This Shrimp Ceviche begins by dicing peeled and deveined raw shrimp, which are combined with kosher salt, black pepper, and freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice. The citrus juices cure the shrimp by breaking down proteins, turning them opaque and firm over 10 minutes. Zest from the citrus adds an additional layer of fresh aroma.
After the shrimp is lightly cured, the mixture is gently tossed with chopped vine tomatoes, peeled and diced cucumber, minced red onion, minced deveined jalapeño for mild heat, chopped cilantro for a fresh herbal note, and diced avocado which contributes a creamy texture that balances the acidic marinade. The ceviche is refrigerated for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
The resulting dish combines the firm, tangy shrimp with crisp vegetables and creamy avocado, making for a refreshing appetizer or light meal suited for warm weather or as a seafood starter.
