Ingredients

• 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.75 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 large avocado, diced
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and have a bowl of iced water ready. Blanch the shrimp in the boiling water for about 1 minute until they are just pink and opaque, then transfer immediately to the iced water to stop cooking.

Step 2

Once cooled, drain the shrimp and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add the shrimp pieces to the citrus juices and stir well.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the shrimp marinate and soak up the flavors of the juices.

Step 5

Add the diced red onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro to the shrimp and citrus juice mixture. Stir well to ensure even coating and flavor distribution.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing.

Step 8

Serve the ceviche chilled, optionally with whole-grain tortilla chips or in lettuce cups for a heart-healthy presentation.
