Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Vegetables
- 2 pounds shrimp (peeled and cooked)
- 1 small red onion (diced)
- 2 jalapenos (seeds removed then minced)
- 1 cup cucumber (finely diced)
- 2 cups Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves (finely chopped)
Fruits and Marinade
- 2 avocados (seeded and chopped)
- 2 large mangos (seeded and chopped)
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- Zest of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Serving
- Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare shrimp: Chop half of the cooked shrimp and place it in a large bowl to combine texture and flavor throughout the dish.
- Combine ingredients: Add the remaining whole shrimp, diced red onion, minced jalapenos, finely diced cucumber, seeded and diced Roma tomatoes, chopped cilantro, chopped mango, and chopped avocado to the bowl.
- Add marinade: Pour the lime juice, lime zest, and orange juice over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Season with salt to taste. Gently toss all ingredients to combine evenly without breaking up the avocado too much.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ceviche for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If refrigerating for longer than 30 minutes, omit the avocado to prevent browning and add it fresh before serving.
- Serve: Serve the chilled shrimp ceviche accompanied by tortilla chips for scooping and enjoy this fresh, zesty appetizer.
Notes
- Use cooked shrimp to ensure food safety and ease of preparation.
- Removing jalapeno seeds reduces heat, adjust to taste based on spice preference.
- For longer storage, add avocado just before serving to maintain color and texture.
- Marinating for at least 30 minutes helps the citrus flavors infuse into the shrimp and vegetables.
- Serve immediately after adding avocado to maintain freshness.
