Shrimp Ceviche is a light and zesty dish featuring tender shrimp, fresh citrus, vegetables, and herbs. This no-cook seafood dish is perfect for warm weather and offers a refreshing burst of flavor.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
    1/2 red onion, finely chopped
    2 medium tomatoes, diced
    1 cucumber, peeled and diced
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    1–2 jalapeños, deseeded and finely chopped (optional for heat)
    1/2 cup lime juice (about 4–5 limes)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp: If using cooked shrimp, chop the shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces. If using raw shrimp, marinate it in lime juice for a few hours until it becomes opaque.

  1. Combine the Vegetables: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeños (if using).
  2. Mix the Ceviche: Add the chopped shrimp to the vegetable mixture. Pour the lime juice over the ingredients, and stir everything together gently. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Let It Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the shrimp to marinate and absorb the flavors.
  4. Serve: Serve the ceviche cold, either in individual bowls or with tortilla chips, tostadas, or as a topping for tacos.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier version, increase the number of jalapeños or add a serrano pepper.
  • This dish can be served immediately after marinating, but it’s best after 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  • If using raw shrimp, ensure it’s fully marinated in lime juice to achieve a cooked texture.
