Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 small red onion (finely diced)
- 3 roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1 medium avocado (diced)
- 1 jalapeno (seeds removed and minced)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 cup Clamato juice
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to halt cooking, then drain well.
- Cut the shrimp into small pieces if they are large. Transfer the shrimp to a glass bowl and add the fresh lime juice and lemon juice. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- After the shrimp has marinated, add the finely diced red onion, diced roma tomatoes, diced avocado, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and Clamato juice to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Taste the ceviche and season with salt and freshly ground pepper to your preference. Serve chilled, ideally with tortilla chips or scoop-style chips.
