Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked shrimp peeled, deveined, tails off
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 large tomato seeded & diced
  • 1 yellow pepper seeded & diced
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1 large avocado peeled & diced (prep this last)
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the shrimp and lime juice to a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine, and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add all of the vegetables EXCEPT the avocado to the mixing bowl. Stir to evenly combine.
  • Season with salt & pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in the diced avocado just before serving- prepping & adding this last will prevent browning.
  • Serve with tortilla chips, or use as a dip or salsa for Tex Mex dishes.

Notes

  • We leave the shrimp whole, but you can chop them if you want more shrimp in every bite. I highly recommend this if using this as a dip or salsa.
  • If you'd prefer to make a more traditional ceviche using raw shrimp, let the shrimp marinate (refrigerated) in the lime juice for 1 1/2- 2 hours, until the shrimp's turned pink and opaque after the citrus juice has "cooked" it.
  • Do NOT drain the juices from the shrimp. You want all that yummy citrus in your ceviche.
  • You can add other seafoods like scallops, calamari, mussels, or crab to this simple salad for a delicious mix.
