Creating shrimp ceviche is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Chop the peeled and deveined shrimp into small pieces.
2. Marinate: Place the shrimp in a bowl and cover with fresh lime juice. Ensure the shrimp are fully submerged.
3. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The shrimp will turn pink as they “cook” in the lime juice.
4. Combine Ingredients: After marinating, drain some of the lime juice and combine the shrimp with diced red onion, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro in a mixing bowl.
5. Season: Add salt to taste. If desired, include diced jalapeño for heat or avocado for creaminess.
6. Taste and Adjust: Mix everything together, and taste to adjust seasoning or acidity as needed.
7. Chill Again: For best results, let the ceviche chill for an additional 10-15 minutes before serving.

Making shrimp ceviche is as easy as that! Each step is crucial to ensuring that the flavors meld beautifully and the shrimp are perfectly “cooked” by the citrus.
