Shrimp Ceviche in bowl This shrimp ceviche is the perfect meal for these hot summer days as it is served chilled. It's full of protein, veggies and bright citrus juices. Serve it on top of a tostada shell, or scoop it up with tortilla chips.

Traditional shrimp ceviche uses raw seafood, using the acids in the citrus juices to "cook" them over time. This recipe I'm sharing cooks the shrimp in boiling water just until they good pink, then thrown in the citrus, which is a far safer method, and I believe much tastier. This ceviche is fabulous for those on the Whole30 Diet or the likes.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 3 minutes, plus citrus marinating time

Total Time: 50-60 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
2/3 cup tomatoes, finely diced
2/3 cup avocado, finely diced
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add shrimp. Cook shrimp for a couple minutes until they turn a light pink colour and fully cooked.

Immediately remove shrimp from water and transfer to a plate to cool. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, mix together the lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, and salt.

Add the shrimp and allow to marinate in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Stir in the diced onion, jalapeno, and tomatoes. Marinate in refrigerator for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Tomatoes, jalepenos and onions added to pan

Remove from refrigerator and stir in avocado and cilantro. Serve chilled with tostadas or chips.

You're welcome, Betty! Sunday night we had visitors and they really wanted to try this. I was a bit short on shrimp so I cut it with some imitation crab I had in the fridge and it was EXCELLENT.

The only thing I would change is put the cooked shrimp in a bowl of ice cold water to cool off so they don't continue to cook.
