Best Ever Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

If using frozen shrimp, place it in a medium bowl and cover with warm tap water. Let thaw for about 10 minutes to ensure it’s ready for preparation.

While the shrimp thaws, squeeze fresh lime juice from 6 large limes into a large bowl. Avoid using bottled lime juice for best flavor and acidity.

Drain the shrimp from the water, gently squeeze out excess moisture, dice the shrimp, and add it to the bowl containing the fresh lime juice.

Let the shrimp marinate in the lime juice to ‘cook’ it. Marinate cooked shrimp for 15 minutes, or raw shrimp for 1.5 hours or until the shrimp becomes opaque and pink.

While shrimp marinates, dice the tomato, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno, placing them into a separate bowl. If using raw shrimp, refrigerate these ingredients. Dice avocado just before combining to prevent browning.

Add the diced vegetables to the marinated shrimp, stir gently, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember to adjust salt last since tortilla chips tend to be salty.

Serve the shrimp ceviche chilled with tortilla chips, on tostadas, or inside tacos for a delicious and vibrant dish.
