Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound Shrimp peeled, deveined, and chopped into 1/2" pieces, medium, raw
  • ½ cup orange juice divided, freshly squeezed
  • cup lime juice divided, freshly squeezed
  • 4 cup diced 1/2" pieces watermelon
  • ¾ cup red onion minced
  • 2 tablespoon jalapeno pepper add more if desired, minced
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup cilantro chopped, loosely packed leaves
  • 12 mint chopped, large leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, 1/4 cup of the orange juice, and 1/4 cup of the lime juice. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or until shrimp are pink and opaque (no longer translucent). The citric acids will "cook" the raw shrimp. Drain. Discard juice.
  2. In a large bowl, fold together watermelon, red onion, jalapeño pepper, orange zest, lime zest, and remaining orange and lime juices. Sprinkle salt over the top, and then add the shrimp, cilantro, and mint. Fold gently to combine.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors mingle. Serve with your favorite chips.

Notes

  • from a farmgirl's dabbles
  • To store. Ceviche is best eaten on the same day it's made. But I've very much enjoyed leftovers for another day or two. :) You can keep them in the fridge in an airtight container.
