Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw or cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined & tails off)
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice (6 large limes)
  • 1 large tomato (diced)
  • 1 large avocado (diced)
  • 1/2 cup red onion (minced)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (minced)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded & diced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste (I added about 1/2 tsp salt))

Directions

  1. 1

    If using frozen shrimp, add it to a medium bowl and cover with warm tap water. Let thaw for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In the meanwhile, squeeze juice from limes and add to a large bowl. Please do not use bottled juice.

  3. 3

    Drain shrimp and give it a gentle squeeze. Dice it and add to the bowl with lime juice.

  4. 4

    Marinate: Cooked shrimp for 15 minutes; raw shrimp for 1.5 hours or until opaque and pink. Acid will "cook" the shrimp.

  5. 5

    While shrimp is marinating, dice tomato, avocado, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno and add to another bowl. Refrigerate if making ceviche with raw shrimp. I also recommend to dice avocado right before combining shrimp with veggies to avoid brown avocado.

  6. 6

    Add vegetables to the bowl with shrimp, stir and add salt and pepper to taste. Remember tortilla chips are salty. So I would salt after the taste test with a chip.

  7. 7

    Serve cold with chips, on a tostada and even in tacos.
