A fresh and zesty Mexican-style shrimp ceviche marinated in citrus with avocado and cilantro. This no-cook appetizer is perfect for parties and game day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice (from about 68 limes)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (from about 1 orange)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 12 serrano peppers, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • Salt to taste
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic), combine the shrimp and lime juice. Ensure the shrimp is fully submerged in the juice.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. This indicates the shrimp has ‘cooked’ in the citrus juice.
  3. Drain off about half of the lime juice.
  4. Add the orange juice, red onion, cilantro, and serrano peppers to the bowl with the shrimp. Stir to combine.
  5. Gently fold in the diced avocado just before serving.
  6. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a spicier ceviche, leave some seeds in the serrano peppers.
  • You can substitute lemon juice for some of the lime juice for a different citrus flavor.
  • This ceviche is best served immediately after adding the avocado to prevent it from browning.
  • Consider this a great alternative to traditional meal planning for a quick appetizer.
