Description
A bright and fresh ceviche made with shrimp, lime juice, and fresh vegetables, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1–2 jalapeños, diced (to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a glass or stainless steel bowl. Pour the lime juice over the shrimp until mostly submerged.
- Let the shrimp marinate in the lime juice for about 15–20 minutes or until they turn opaque and feel firm. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, chop the cilantro, and finely dice the jalapeños while the shrimp marinate.
- Drain some lime juice if you prefer a less wet ceviche, then add the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños to the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill the ceviche in the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes. Adjust salt or jalapeño heat to taste. Serve cold with tortilla chips and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
Notes
Use very fresh or properly thawed shrimp. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
