Quick Shrimp Ceviche
This quick shrimp ceviche is the perfect party appetizer or mid-day snack. Loaded with protein and packed with flavor, I can guarantee it won’t last long. Serve it alongside some tortilla chips or enjoy it with your favorites sliced veggies for the ultimate shrimp recipe.
If you’re wondering what makes it so quick, the secret is using precooked shrimp! The precooked shrimp are great because you simply remove the tail, cut the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and combine it with the other ingredients. This eliminates the need to marinate the raw shrimp in citrus juice or 30-60 minutes like you must in a traditional raw ceviche.
Ingredients Needed for Quick Shrimp Ceviche
Shrimp – You’ll need one pound of precooked shrimp. Remove the tails and cut the shrimp into bite-sized pieces. I used jumbo sized shrimp but any size will work fine.
Fruits / Vegetables – For this recipe, you’ll need finely diced cucumber, (be sure to remove the core) diced red onion, finely diced jalapeno (remove the seeds and veins), cubed avocado, and cubed mango.
Dressing / Herbs – You’ll need freshly chopped cilantro, olive oil, and fresh squeezed lime juice for this recipe.
How to Make Quick Shrimp Ceviche
In a serving bowl, combine the cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, avocado, mango, cilantro, salt, olive oil, fresh squeezed lime juice and shrimp. Gently toss everything together until its well combined in the lime juice and olive oil.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Storage
Store any leftover ceviche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Enjoy with chips or veggies.
