Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a non-reactive bowl, combine the shrimp with the lime juice. Ensure the shrimp is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until the shrimp turns opaque and pink.
Drain off about half of the lime juice. Add the diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the shrimp.
Gently fold in the diced tomato and avocado. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tostadas, or in lettuce cups.
Notes
For a spicier ceviche, leave some seeds in the jalapeño. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
