Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the shrimp into bite sized pieces and add them to a large serving bowl. Add in the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, jalapeño, avocado, and cilantro.
  2. Combine the citrus juices in a glass measuring cup and then pour them over the shrimp mixture. Season with salt and pepper and add hot sauce if desired. Stir everything together until coated. Taste for seasoning.
  3. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • I like to let the ceviche marinate in the citrus juice for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours for the best flavor.
  • If you're making this a few hours in advance and are worried about the avocado browning, mix it in right before serving.
  • See notes in the blog post regarding using raw shrimp.
