Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup small shrimp (pre-cooked, frozen, and thawed)
- 0.5 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1 medium Roma tomato (diced)
- 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 small jalapeño (seeded and finely diced, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bag tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
Thaw the pre-cooked shrimp by running them under cold water or placing them in the refrigerator until softened. Pat dry and cut into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with the freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the tangy flavor.
Add the finely diced red onion, diced Roma tomato, chopped cilantro, and optional jalapeño to the bowl. Mix gently to combine.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then stir again to ensure the seasoning is distributed evenly.
Taste and adjust with additional lime juice or salt if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the ceviche chilled with tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste!
