Shrimp ceviche is a refreshing and healthy dish that makes a perfect appetizer or light meal during the summer months. This flavorful dish is easy to make and can be served with tortilla chips or as a topping for tostadas. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup of chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Begin by chopping the cooked shrimp into small pieces and placing them in a large bowl. Pour the lime juice over the shrimp, making sure that all of the pieces are covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the shrimp has turned pink and opaque.
While the shrimp is marinating, chop the red onion, tomato, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper and mix them together in a separate bowl. Once the shrimp is ready, drain off the excess lime juice and add the chopped vegetables to the bowl. Toss everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
Finally, dice the avocado and gently fold it into the shrimp mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the shrimp ceviche chilled, either as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tostadas. Enjoy!
