Ingredients

• 300 grams Raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 120 milliliters Fresh lime juice
• 60 milliliters Fresh lemon juice
• 2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
• 0.5 Red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 Jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)
• 30 grams Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
• 1 Avocado (diced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 100 grams Shredded cabbage (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large glass or non-reactive bowl, combine the chopped raw shrimp, lime juice, and lemon juice. Stir well to ensure the shrimp is fully submerged in the citrus juices.

Step 2

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, or until the shrimp turns opaque and appears fully 'cooked' by the acids in the juice.

Step 3

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the other ingredients. Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, and dice the avocado.

Step 4

Once the shrimp is ready, drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving about 1–2 tablespoons of juice in the bowl.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Gently mix everything together to combine.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until they are pliable and lightly charred.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by spooning the ceviche mixture onto each tortilla. Add shredded cabbage on top, if desired, for extra crunch.

Step 9

Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side for added heat, if preferred.
