4.4 from 9 reviews

A refreshing and zesty homemade shrimp ceviche featuring cooked shrimp marinated in lime and orange juices with fresh vegetables and herbs, perfect as a light appetizer or snack served chilled with tortilla chips.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Seafood

  • 2 pounds shrimp (peeled and cooked)

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 small red onion (diced)
  • 2 jalapenos (seeds removed then minced)
  • 1 cup cucumber (diced)
  • 2 cups Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
  • 2 avocados (peeled, seeded and chopped)

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • Salt to taste

To Serve

  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Dice the red onion, mince the jalapenos after removing seeds, dice the cucumber, seed and dice the Roma tomatoes, chop the cilantro leaves, and peel, seed, and chop the avocados. Place the cooked shrimp along with all these prepared vegetables and herbs into a large bowl.
  2. Mix the Marinade: Pour the lime juice, lime zest, and orange juice over the shrimp mixture. Add salt to taste and gently toss everything together to coat all the ingredients evenly with the citrus juices.
  3. Refrigerate the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the ceviche for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the shrimp to absorb the citrus marinade. You can refrigerate for up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.
  4. Adjust for Longer Refrigeration: If you plan to refrigerate the ceviche for longer than 30 minutes, do not add the avocado initially. Instead, add the chopped avocado right before serving to keep it fresh and prevent browning.
  5. Serve Chilled: Serve the chilled shrimp ceviche with tortilla chips for scooping, making for a perfect appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly cooked shrimp that has been peeled and deveined.
  • Remove the jalapeno seeds to control the heat level of the ceviche.
  • Adding avocado too early can cause it to brown; add just before serving if refrigerating long.
  • You can customize by adding diced mango or bell peppers for extra sweetness and crunch.
  • Serve immediately or keep refrigerated up to 8 hours for better flavor infusion.
