A traditional Mexican Ceviche

Ingredients
  • 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined (chopped into small pieces)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
  • 1 medium red onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper (, finely chopped, remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 medium tomato (diced)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber (diced)
  • 1/2 cup avocado (diced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 orange)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (adjust to taste, optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 Tortilla chips or tostadas for serving
Instructions
  1. 1
    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large glass bowl, combine the shrimp with the lime and lemon juice. The acidity of the
    citrus juices will "cook" the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the shrimp turn opaque and are fully cooked.

  2. 2
    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the shrimp is marinating, chop the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, tomato, cucumber, and avocado.

  3. 3
    Mix Everything Together

    Once the shrimp is ready, drain any excess liquid. Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, cilantro, tomato, cucumber, and avocado to the bowl with the shrimp.

  4. 4
    Add the Flavors

    Pour in the orange juice, hot sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything gently to combine all the flavors.

  5. 5
    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate the ceviche for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6
    Serve

    Serve the shrimp ceviche chilled with tortilla chips or tostadas.

  7. 7

    Enjoy your shrimp ceviche!
