Ingredients
Shrimp and Marinade
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, cut into bite-size pieces
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 5-6 limes)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Vegetables and Fruits
- 1 ripe mango, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ English cucumber, seeded and diced
- ¼ cup pickled red onion, drained
- 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely diced
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: Peel, devein, and wash the shrimp, then cut into bite-sized pieces about ½-inch each.
- Marinate the shrimp: Place the shrimp pieces in a non-reactive bowl such as glass or ceramic. Pour fresh lime juice over the shrimp, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged. Toss gently to coat, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes until the shrimp turns opaque and pinkish, indicating it is ‘cooked’ by the citrus.
- Prepare the produce: While the shrimp marinates, dice the mango, avocado, cucumber, and jalapeño finely. Chop the fresh cilantro until ready to use.
- Combine ingredients: After marination, drain about half of the lime and lemon juice from the shrimp bowl, keeping some for flavor. Add the diced mango, cucumber, pickled red onion, and jalapeño to the shrimp. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Add avocado and cilantro: Fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro carefully to prevent the avocado from breaking down too much, preserving its texture.
- Chill and meld flavors: Cover the ceviche and refrigerate for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Final seasoning: Taste the ceviche and adjust salt or pepper as needed before serving for optimal flavor balance.
