Photo: Shrimp Ceviche Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound high-quality medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail removed, cut into thin pieces
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup peeled, seeded and finely chopped cucumber
- 1 cup seeded and finely chopped tomato
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 serrano chile pepper, deveined, seeded and minced
- Kosher salt, for seasoning
To serve:
- Saltine crackers
- Bottled hot sauce
- Lime wedges, optional
Directions
Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup lime juice and let stand for 15 minutes so the shrimp can "cook" in the lime juice (any less and it won't cook, any more and it toughens).
Meanwhile, in a separate large mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup lime juice, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, red onions and serrano chile to incorporate evenly. Transfer the mixed vegetables into the shrimp bowl and mix well to incorporate. Season the ceviche with some salt. Serve with saltine crackers, bottled hot sauce and lime wedges if desired.
Cook's Note: Use more serrano chile pepper if you desire a spicier ceviche.

Excellent! I'm not a fan of shrimp but couldn't stop eating this. My husband loves this too. Going to make it again today. I followed the recipe exactly as shown on Tv. I think the one posted is slightly different. I only used half a cup of lime juice and the one here says one cup. Love it.

Excellent recipe. Nice fresh, light summer recipe. I live in the midwest so I do not have access to fresh seafood. Therefore, instead of using the lime juice for "cooking" I roasted the shrimp in a 400 degree oven for approx. 8 minutes,coarsely chopped roasted shrimp, and then placed it in the mixed vegetabless/limes juice and refrigerated for brief period to merry the flavors. It turned out perfect.
