Shrimp Ceviche

Reading Time: < 1 minute
  • 1 pound of peeled, deveined shrimp (.25 pounds extra if the tails are still on) – cooked is ok, then you won’t do step one of the recipe
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (two lemons)
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (three limes)
  • Two medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • ½ small red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup freshly chopped cilantro (leaves and stems)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 medium avocado
  1. Cook the shrimp if not pre-cooked. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; turn off the heat; add the shrimp and poach until opaque and just cooked through; drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  2. Combine the ingredients. Chop the shrimp into ½ inch pieces and place in a large bowl; add the lemon juice, lime juice, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and salt; toss to combine; cover and refrigerate for one to four hours.
  3. Add avocado right before serving. Just before serving, dice the avocado, add to the ceviche, and gently toss to combine.
