Equipment

  • 9×13 inch pan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

For the Ceviche

  • 1 lb Shrimp chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup Lime Juice the key to cooking the shrimp
  • 1 cup Tomatoes chopped, choose ripe for best flavor
  • ½ cup Cucumber chopped
  • ¼ cup Onion chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño chopped, remove seeds for less spice
  • ¼ cup Cilantro chopped

Optional Topping

  • Avocado diced or mashed

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Marinate the chopped shrimp in lime juice, ensuring they are submerged, and let sit for 1 hour at room temperature. Then chill for 1-2 hours.
  • Chop the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro into small, uniform pieces. Store in the fridge until ready.
  • Once the shrimp is opaque, gently fold in all the prepared vegetables using a large spatula.
  • Top with diced or mashed avocado just before serving for a creamy finish.
  • Serve chilled with tortilla chips as an appetizer or over tostada shells for a meal.

Notes

For best flavor, always use fresh shrimp and allow adequate marination time. Avocado should be added just before serving to prevent browning.
