Prep: 25 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Yield:5 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp raw and deveined
  • 1 cup red onion chopped
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • 1 avocado peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 3 tomatoes diced, about 1 cup
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • ½ bunch of cilantro finely chopped, about 2-3 tablespoons
  • ¾ cup lime juice fresh
  • ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup lime juice and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make vegetables: In separate large mixing bowl, mix 1/4 lime juice, red onion, cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  • Combine two bowls and mix well so everything is fully incorporated. Season the ceviche with some salt.
  • Serve with saltine crackers or chips, hot sauce, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Lemon and lime juice amounts: Be sure to use exact amounts. Too little will keep shrimp from curing and too much will cause it to toughen.
  • Mixing notes: I toss the vegetables with my hands so as not to squish the avocado, then stir everything gently with a spoon.
  • How much juice is in a lime
