Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 medium Roma tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 medium red onion, finely diced
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
• 1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 large avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bag tortilla chips (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the raw shrimp under cold water, then chop into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Place the shrimp in a glass or non-reactive bowl and pour the lime and lemon juice over it. Ensure the shrimp is fully submerged in the citrus juices.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even curing. The shrimp will turn pink and opaque as it 'cooks' in the citrus juices.

Step 4

While the shrimp cures, prepare the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber; finely chop the jalapeño and cilantro.

Step 5

Once the shrimp is done curing, remove it from the refrigerator. Do not drain the citrus juices, as they form part of the ceviche's flavor base.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro to the shrimp mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced avocado. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and season with salt to taste.

Step 8

Serve the ceviche chilled, in bowls or martini glasses. Optionally garnish with additional cilantro or a lime wedge.

Step 9

Serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
