Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup Cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
• 1 piece Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece Avocado, diced
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Chop the peeled and deveined shrimp into 1/2 inch pieces.

Step 2

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the shrimp, lime juice, and lemon juice, ensuring that the shrimp is fully submerged.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45-60 minutes until the shrimp is opaque and thoroughly 'cooked' in the citrus juices.

Step 4

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables: finely chop the red onion, dice the tomatoes and cucumber, seed and chop the jalapeño, and mince the garlic.

Step 5

Once the shrimp is ready, drain it through a sieve, discarding the marinade to avoid unwanted acidity.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the 'cooked' shrimp, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, and black pepper.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced avocado to avoid mashing it.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice or pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the ceviche cold with tortilla chips or on lettuce leaves as a refreshing appetizer.
