How to make Pink Bay Shrimp Ceviche :
Marinate Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with lime and lemon juices. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and “cooked” through by the citrus.
Prepare Vegetables: While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the red onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Combine Ingredients: After the shrimp has marinated, drain off some of the excess citrus juice (leaving a little for flavor). Gently mix in the red onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Add Avocado: Fold in the diced avocado just before serving to avoid mashing it.
Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or tostadas.
Recipe Notes:
Freshness: For the best results, use very fresh shrimp and high-quality citrus juices.
Adjust Heat: Modify the amount of jalapeño to suit your heat preference, or omit it entirely if you prefer a milder ceviche.
Marination Time: Don’t over-marinate the shrimp; 30-60 minutes is typically sufficient to achieve the desired texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestion: This ceviche is perfect as a refreshing appetizer or light meal, paired with your favorite crispy chips or tostadas.
