Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 medium limes, juiced
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
- 2 pieces medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 piece small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 piece medium cucumber, diced
- 1 piece jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 piece avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
1. Start by slicing the raw shrimp into small bite-sized pieces and place them into a large glass or ceramic bowl.
2. Pour the freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice over the shrimp, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Stir well.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the shrimp to marinate and 'cook' in the citrus juice for about 30 minutes, or until they turn opaque and firm.
4. While the shrimp are marinating, prepare the vegetables by dicing the tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado, and finely chopping the red onion and jalapeño. Combine these ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
5. Add the chopped cilantro, salt, pepper, and olive oil to the vegetables and mix thoroughly.
6. Once the shrimp are done marinating, drain them from the citrus juice and add them to the vegetable mixture. Gently fold everything together to combine.
7. Taste the ceviche and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
8. Chill for a few minutes before serving for best flavor. Serve the ceviche in chilled bowls or plates, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
