Shrimp Ceviche

Ingredients:

• 1 lb medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, or cooked shrimp may be used
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (2-3 limes)
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 small hot (or mild) chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 medium avocado, chopped
• Mixed greens or tortilla chips

Directions:

Step 1
If you’re choosing uncooked shrimp, start by peel, devein and rinse the shrimp. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces and transfer to a bowl. If you’d prefer cooked shrimp, prepare the same way and set aside.

Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon and lime juices. Pour over the shrimp and toss to combine. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the juice for 15 minutes.

Step 3
Add the tomato, cilantro, chili pepper, and red onion to the shrimp. Toss the ingredients to combine and allow to marinate for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4
Stir in the chopped avocado, season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately over a bed of lettuce or with a side of tortilla chips, as desired.
