Shrimp ceviche is a fresh, zesty seafood dish made with shrimp marinated in citrus juice and tossed with vegetables, herbs, and avocado. It’s a no-cook appetizer or light meal that’s bursting with flavor and perfect for warm weather or entertaining.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
  • Tortilla chips or lettuce leaves, for serving

Instructions

  1. If using raw shrimp, chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a glass or non-reactive bowl.
  2. Pour in lime and lemon juice to fully cover the shrimp. Stir and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until shrimp is opaque and “cooked” through.
  3. Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
  4. Once shrimp is ready, drain most of the citrus juice, leaving a few tablespoons in the bowl.
  5. Add the chopped vegetables and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Gently fold in the diced avocado and drizzle with olive oil, if using.
  7. Chill until ready to serve. Serve cold with tortilla chips or in lettuce cups.

Notes

Use pre-cooked shrimp if desired—skip marinating and mix directly with other ingredients.Add mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.Adjust heat level by changing amount or type f chili pepper used.Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.Serve as a dip, taco filling, or salad topping.
