Ceviche de Camarón Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 1/2 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 medium red onion finely diced
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 medium cucumber peeled, deseeded, and diced
- 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper finely chopped, adjust to taste
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- avocado optional, diced for topping
- tostadas or tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Peel, devein, and chop the shrimp into small bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, combine the shrimp with lime juice, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Dice the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and jalapeño or serrano pepper into small, uniform pieces.
- Once the shrimp turns opaque and is fully ‘cooked’ by the lime juice, drain excess juice, leaving just a small amount for flavor.
- Mix the marinated shrimp with the chopped vegetables and cilantro.
- Season with salt and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve chilled with tostadas or tortilla chips. Garnish with avocado if desired.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add extra jalapeño or use serrano peppers. For a richer version, mix in some tomato juice or orange juice for a touch of sweetness.
