Ingredients
- 1 lb medium shrimp, raw, peeled, deveined, very fresh
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup fresh lime juice, about 6 limes
- ½ cup fresh orange juice, about 2 oranges
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber, diced, about 1 cup
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and cut into cubes
- Tostadas or tortillas, for serving, optional
- Cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, lime wedges or wheels, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp. Once peeled and deveined, pat the shrimp dry, then roughly chop into small, bite size pieces. Place the shrimp in a large bowl.
- "Cook" the shrimp. Add 1 thinly sliced red onion and 1 finely chopped jalapeño, then season with 1 tsp Kosher salt and ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper. Pour ½ cup fresh lime juice and ½ cup fresh orange juice on top, give it a good stir, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until the shrimp are cooked and opaque.
- Add remaining ingredients, then serve. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1 cup diced cucumber, 1 cubed avocado, and ½ cup fresh cilantro, then taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Serve straight from the fridge either in small bowls or with tostadas or tortilla chips!
Notes
- Nutrition note: Nutrition facts exclude tortilla chips and tostadas.
- Shrimp doneness: Shrimp should be opaque and firm, with a white and pink color.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh; refrigerate ceviche for up to 2 days (the acidity will continue to “cook” the shrimp).
