Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 medium Roma tomatoes (diced)
• 0.5 cup red onion (finely diced)
• 1 medium cucumber (peeled, seeded, and diced)
• 1 medium jalapeño (seeded and finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 1 medium avocado (diced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the raw shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Cut the shrimp into small bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch each.

Step 3

In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the shrimp, lime juice, and lemon juice. Make sure the shrimp is fully submerged in the citrus juice.

Step 4

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or until the shrimp turns opaque and appears cooked by the acidity of the citrus.

Step 5

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables: dice the tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, peel and dice the cucumber, finely chop the jalapeño, and chop the cilantro.

Step 6

Once the shrimp is done, drain about half of the citrus juice from the bowl to avoid excessive liquid in the ceviche.

Step 7

Add the diced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl with the shrimp. Gently toss to combine.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together gently.

Step 9

Carefully fold in the avocado cubes to avoid mashing them.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed, with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice.

Step 11

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tostadas, or on its own as a refreshing appetizer.
