A bright, tangy, and slightly sweet shrimp ceviche featuring creamy avocado and juicy mango, perfect for summer gatherings or a refreshing weekday lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 8–10 limes)
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 medium ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes and drained
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • Salt to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
  • Black pepper to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water, peel and devein if not already done, then cut into 1/2 inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. Place shrimp pieces in a mixing bowl and pour in the lime juice, ensuring shrimp are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until shrimp turn opaque and firm.
  3. While shrimp marinates, finely dice the red onion and soak in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain well.
  4. Dice the avocado and mango into similar-sized cubes. Finely chop the jalapeño and roughly chop the cilantro.
  5. Drain most of the excess lime juice from the shrimp, leaving a little to keep the mixture juicy.
  6. Add the diced red onion, avocado, mango, jalapeño, and cilantro to the shrimp bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then gently toss everything together without mashing the avocado.
  8. Let the ceviche rest in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

Notes

Do not marinate shrimp for more than 30 minutes to avoid rubbery texture. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning. If ceviche is too tart, add a pinch of sugar or honey to soften acidity. Use fresh shrimp for best texture. Soaking red onion reduces sharpness. Olive oil adds richness and balances acidity.
