Ingredients:
- OceanBox Colossal Fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Fresh lime juice
- Fresh lemon juice
- Orange juice
- Red onion, finely chopped
- Cucumber, diced
- Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Ripe avocado, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: Start by chopping the shrimp into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer, you can also leave them whole if they are small enough.
2. Citrus Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add the chopped shrimp to the bowl, making sure they are fully submerged in the citrus juice. The acidity from the juice will "cook" the shrimp. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and pink.
3. Add the Veggies: While the shrimp marinates, chop the red onion, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro. Once the shrimp are ready, drain off most of the marinade and add these chopped vegetables to the shrimp.
4. Mix in Avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado with the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Be careful not to mash the avocado pieces.
5. Season: Season the ceviche with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit more heat, you can add extra jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
6. Serve: Serve the ceviche immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. It's perfect served with tortilla chips, on top of a salad, or simply with a spoon!
