This cool, zesty, and refreshing shrimp ceviche is just what you need on a hot summer day. Enjoy it with fresh tortilla chips as an appetizer or snack, or serve it as a main course over lettuce or in tacos. You really can’t go wrong with this bright, light, and flavorful recipe.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound raw or cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined & tails off
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice, 6 large limes
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded & diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1: Dice shrimp into bite sized bits and add toss in a bowl. Squeeze lime juice over shrimp and mix. If using cooked shrimp, let marinate in lime juice for at least 15 minutes; If using raw shrimp, let marinate in lime juice for at least 1.5 hours, or until opaque and pink. The acid from the lime will “cook” the shrimp.

STEP 2: While shrimp marinates, dice tomato, avocado, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno and add to another bowl. Refrigerate if needed while your shrimp finishes marinating.

STEP 3: Add vegetables to the bowl with shrimp, stir and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve cold with chips, on a tostada or in tacos.

ENJOY!
