Easy Shrimp Ceviche Recipe

1 lb fresh shrimplarge or jumbo, follow package instructions to thaw if frozen

½ tsp kosher saltto taste

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lime zest

½ cup fresh lime juice

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

¼ cup fresh orange juice orange or mandarins

1 mango pittedpeeled and chopped

1 avocadopitted and chopped

1 red bell pepperseeded and chopped

½ red onionchopped

½ cup cilantrochopped

Skip this step if your shrimp is peeled and deveined. Peel and devein the shrimp by separating the shell from the underside of the shrimp and removing it. Using kitchen shears, cut along the top middle of the shrimp from the head to tail to expose the membrane and remove it.

Chop the shrimp into 1/2" chunks and place in a medium bowl. Add the salt and pepper and toss gently to combine, then add the lime, lemon and orange juice and stir gently, making sure that the shrimp is submerged in the citrus juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. When the shrimp is "cooked", it will be opaque (white or pink depending on its original color).

Do not drain the liquid from the shrimp! Add the mango, avocado, bell pepper, red onion and cilantro and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning as needed, then serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cure Your Shrimp Perfectly ⏱️
Use a 1:1 ratio of fresh citrus juice to shrimp by weight and cure for 15-20 minutes maximum—longer will make the shrimp mushy as the acid continues to denature the proteins.
Balance Your Citrus Blend 🍋
Combine lime, lemon, and orange juice in a 2:1:1 ratio for optimal complexity; the orange adds subtle sweetness that balances the acidity without overpowering the delicate shrimp.
Dice Ingredients Uniformly 🔪
Cut all components (mango, avocado, pepper, onion) into consistent ¼-inch pieces so every spoonful delivers balanced flavor and prevents larger chunks from overshadowing delicate shrimp.
Prep Avocado Last ⏰
Add avocado just 5-10 minutes before serving to prevent oxidation and browning; toss gently with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to maintain its creamy texture and vibrant color.
Chill Your Serving Vessel 🧊
Place your serving bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before plating to keep ceviche at the ideal cold temperature and maintain the bright, fresh taste that makes this dish special.
