Ingredients
- 1 pound peeled deveined and medium diced raw shrimp
- Juice of 5 limes about 10 tablespoons
- Juice of 2 lemons about 6 tablespoons
- 1 cup small diced fresh pineapple
- 1 seeded small diced red bell pepper
- 1 seeded small diced jalapeño
- ½ peeled small diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 peeled and seeded small diced avocado for garnish
- coarse salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Add the shrimp to a bowl and completely submerge in the juice of 4 limes and 1 lemon. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until the shrimp are pink, firm, and appear cooked.
- Drain the liquid in the bowl and add in the remaining juice of 1 lime and 1 lemon, pineapple, red pepper, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, salt and pepper, and mix until combined.
- Serve immediately with garnishes of avocado, green onions, and chips.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this 1 day ahead.
- How to Store: Covered in plastic, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This recipe does not freeze well.
- There is an enzyme in pineapple called bromelain, which breaks down protein. If in contact for too long, the shrimp will turn to mush, so eat this within 24 hours of adding the pineapple.
- It’s important not to use old seafood when making ceviche to prevent the possibility of getting sick.
- You can eat it as is, but it also goes fantastic as a base for tacos or dip using corn tortillas or fried plantains.
- If you want more zest in your recipe, add 1 ½ teaspoons each of cumin and chili powder.
- After curing, the seafood item should appear cooked and be firm.
- Drain and rinse the shrimp after curing and before adding the remaining ingredients.
- I suggest purchasing a lemon or lime squeezer if you make this often.
