Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds medium raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 6 limes juiced
- 4 lemons juiced
- 4 vine-ripened tomatoes seeded and chopped
- 1 small red or white onion chopped
- 2 Serrano peppers finely chopped
- 1 cucumber peeled, seeded, and chopped
- handful cilantro chopped, plus several sprigs for garnish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 20 tostada shells
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds pepitas, toasted (optional)
Avocado Crema:
- 2 ripe avocados pitted and peeled
- 2 cloves garlic
- handful cilantro
- 2 jalapeños stemmed
- 1 cup Crema Mexicana or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Spread out the shrimp in a glass baking dish. Pour lime and lemon juice over shrimp, toss well, and refrigerate for 2 hours, mixing occasionally. The acid from the limes and lemons will “cook” the shrimp.
- Toss prepared shrimp with juices with the remaining ingredients (except tostada shells and pepitas) and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer. You can even prepare this the night before, allowing all the flavors to fuse together overnight.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, place avocado, garlic, cilantro, jalapeño, crema, and salt. Blend until creamy.
- Spread each tostada shell with a layer of the avocado crema. Top with ceviche and garnish with pepitas and additional cilantro, if using.

Notes
- The longer the ceviche marinates and chills the better it tastes, so make this dish one or two days before you plan to serve it.
- This avocado crema can be made ahead of time. It will store for 2 days in a tightly lidded container in the refrigerator.
- For a dairy-free option, make Tomatillo Avocado Salsa.
- Juicing tips: The best way to juice lemons and limes is with this hand-held juicer. Citrus at room temperature is easier to juice than cold citrus. Roll citrus back and forth on cutting board before cutting to release citrus.
