Print Recipe

A quick and easy shrimp ceviche featuring fresh shrimp, ripe mango, and creamy avocado tossed with lime juice, jalapeño, and cilantro for a refreshing and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined (preferably wild-caught)
  • Juice of 3 to 4 fresh limes (about ½ cup or 120ml)
  • 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 large ripe but firm avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher or sea salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a pinch or two
  • Optional: small drizzle of olive oil or a splash of orange juice

Instructions

  1. Chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces about ½ inch chunks. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
  2. If using raw shrimp, marinate in lime juice for 10 to 15 minutes until shrimp turns opaque. Skip marinating if using pre-cooked shrimp.
  3. Peel and dice the mango into small cubes similar in size to the shrimp.
  4. Scoop out and dice the avocado into pieces similar in size to the shrimp and mango.
  5. Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat).
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp, mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Toss gently to avoid mashing avocado.
  7. Pour lime juice over the mixture and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add olive oil or orange juice if desired and toss gently again.
  8. Let the ceviche rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes to meld flavors. Optionally refrigerate up to 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if needed before serving.

Notes

Use the freshest shrimp possible for best flavor and safety. Marinate raw shrimp in lime juice for 10-15 minutes until opaque. Handle avocado gently to keep chunks intact. Add salt gradually and taste as you go. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Consume leftovers within 24 hours to avoid browning and texture changes.
