Easy Shrimp Ceviche


  • Author: Dulcia
  • Total Time: 1 hour 18 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound peeled and deveined raw medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium avocado
Tostadas or tortilla chips, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat, add 1 pound peeled and deveined raw medium shrimp, and poach until the shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the shrimp and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
Chop the shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 chopped tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, 1 finely chopped medium jalapeño, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Just before serving, dice 1 medium avocado, add to the ceviche, and gently toss to combine. Serve with tostadas or tortilla chips, if desired.
