This mouthwatering seafood dish tastes like it is freshly made straight from a beachside restaurant. This zesty shrimp ceviche recipe simple enough for any cook and is bursting with citrus flavors!
Ingredients:
Shrimp – I like to use precooked shrimp. You can use any size because it’ll be chopped.
Tomatoes – Roma, cherry, or heirloom tomatoes would all work well.
Onion – I like to use red onion. Shallots are a great option for a milder onion flavor.
Jalapeño – You can use as much or as little as you like.
Bell pepper – Red, yellow or orange bell pepper all work well.
Cucumber – I like to use an English cucumbers.
Cilantro – Fresh cilantro is the best.
Citrus Juice – I like to use fresh lime juice.
Salt – Season to taste.
Ceviche is a recipe that marinates or ‘cooks’ fresh fish or shrimp in lime juice or lemon juice. The acid from the citrus does all the work. I use precooked shrimp for this recipe and let the shrimp marinate in the lime juice and added fresh vegetables.
This easy shrimp ceviche recipe makes a great appetizer or light meal.
