Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, (raw or pre-cooked, extra large
- 3 lime squeezed
- 1 lemon squeezed
- ½ Medium red onion finely sliced
- ½ English cucumber diced
- 1-2 jalapeno pepper deseeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 2 Medium avocado Or 1 large, diced
Instructions
- Dice the cucumber, avocado, onions, peppers, and cilantro.
- Chop up the shrimp.
- Place the shrimp in a glass bowl. Add in the lime and lemon juice and let it stand refrigerated for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped veggies, and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to nicely meld. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- You may use pre-cooked shrimp or raw shrimp; I prefer cooked.
- If using pre-cooked, you do not need to soak the shrimp in the lemon and lime juice for 15 minutes. Just about 5 minutes will do.
- If using raw shrimp, you must time the soak time for 15 minutes to allow it to cook in the acidity of the lemon and lime juice.
- Chop your onions well! You just want a hint of spicy raw onion, not a mouthful of it. Using a mandoline to thinly slice the red onion is great.
- Don't skimp on the cilantro. Just like guacamole, ceviche needs a good helping of cilantro to balance the flavors.
- Add a spicy kick. Adding a few drops of Tabasco (or any other favorite hot sauce) will give your ceviche just the right amount of kick. It also adds flavor from the vinegar and spices.
- Removing the ribs and seeds from your jalapeno will significantly reduce the heat of the pepper. If you prefer spicy food, keep some of the seeds and ribs in the pepper when you dice it up.
- Add orange for a subtle but satisfying twist. Adding a little orange juice or lemon juice in addition to the lime adds a nice, subtle flavor that compliments the lime. Orange juice also adds a perfect little sweetness that can stand up to the spice.
- You can substitute part of the shrimp with pieces of firm white fish, bay scallops, or even sliced octopus.
