Tropical Mango Shrimp Ceviche is a bright, refreshing dish made with tender shrimp “cooked” in citrus juice and tossed with sweet mango, crisp vegetables, and fresh herbs. It’s vibrant, light, and perfect for warm weather meals, appetizers, or gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 avocado, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut raw shrimp into bite‑sized pieces and place in a bowl. Cover completely with lime juice and lemon juice (if using).
  2. Let shrimp marinate in the citrus juice for 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until opaque and firm.
  3. Once the shrimp are “cooked,” drain most of the citrus juice, leaving a little for flavor.
  4. Add mango, red onion, cucumber, and bell pepper to the bowl with the shrimp.
  5. Stir in chopped cilantro and jalapeño or serrano if using.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently toss to combine.
  7. If using avocado, fold it in gently just before serving.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked shrimp to save time; just chill before mixing with other ingredients.
  • For extra tropical flavor, add diced pineapple or orange juice.
  • Best enjoyed the same day it’s made for optimal texture and freshness.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or lettuce cups.
