This fresh and zesty Shrimp Ceviche recipe features tender shrimp marinated in lime and lemon juice, combined with crisp vegetables and a splash of Clamato juice. Perfect as a light appetizer or a refreshing snack, it’s quick to prepare and bursting with vibrant flavors.

Ingredients

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Vegetables and Mix-ins

  • 1/2 small red onion (finely diced)
  • 3 roma tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 medium avocado (diced)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeds removed and minced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 cup Clamato juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the shrimp: Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through. Immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to halt cooking, then drain well.
  2. Marinate the shrimp: Cut the shrimp into small pieces if they are large. Transfer the shrimp to a glass bowl and add the fresh lime juice and lemon juice. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This citrus marinade ‘cooks’ the shrimp further and infuses them with bright flavors.
  3. Combine ingredients: After the shrimp has marinated, add the finely diced red onion, diced roma tomatoes, diced avocado, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and Clamato juice to the bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Season and serve: Taste the ceviche and season with salt and freshly ground pepper to your preference. Serve chilled, ideally with tortilla chips or scoop-style chips for a refreshing and delightful appetizer.

Notes

  • Be sure to use fresh lime and lemon juice for the best flavor and proper ‘cooking’ of the shrimp.
  • If you prefer spicier ceviche, keep some jalapeno seeds or add extra jalapeno to taste.
  • The avocado should be added just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Ceviche is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • For a gluten-free version, confirm that the Clamato juice is gluten-free or substitute with fresh tomato juice.
