Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp
- 1 cup Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by cleaning and deveining the shrimp, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, add the shrimp pieces and pour the lime juice over them, ensuring the shrimp are fully submerged.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, until the shrimp turn opaque as they 'cook' in the lime juice.
While the shrimp is marinating, finely dice the red onion, tomatoes, and cucumber; chop the jalapeño (removing seeds to adjust spiciness) and cilantro.
Once the shrimp are marinated, drain them, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the lime juice in the bowl.
Add the prepared vegetables and cilantro to the shrimp. Gently mix to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Dice the avocado into small chunks and gently fold it into the ceviche.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary and serve immediately with tortilla chips or lettuce cups if desired.
