A fresh and easy shrimp ceviche recipe bursting with bright, tangy flavors and crisp vegetables, perfect for quick meals and summer parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh lime juice
  • ½ medium red onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely minced (optional)
  • ½ medium cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, chop into bite-size pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice with salt and black pepper. Stir until the salt dissolves.
  3. Add the chopped shrimp, diced red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro to the lime juice bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour. If adding avocado, wait until just before serving to mix it in.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed. Add diced avocado last for creaminess. Serve chilled.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Marinate for at least 20 minutes but no longer than 1 hour to prevent mushy shrimp. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning. Adjust jalapeño amount for desired heat level.
