Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.75 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
Instructions
Chop shrimp into bite-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch each, and place them in a large glass bowl.
Pour the fresh lime juice and lemon juice over the shrimp. Make sure the shrimp are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the shrimp turns opaque and 'cooked' in the citrus juice.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables: chop the red onion, dice the tomato, seed and mince the jalapeño, and chop the cilantro.
Once the shrimp is ready, drain excess citrus juice, leaving about 1/4 cup of the liquid with the shrimp in the bowl.
Add the red onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, diced avocado, sea salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Stir gently to combine.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
Before serving, peel and dice the cucumber and gently fold it into the ceviche.
Serve immediately with your choice of paleo-friendly chips, or as a topping for lettuce wraps.
