  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings
  • Total: 2 hr (includes marinating time)
  • Active: 30 min
Nothing reminds me of a summer day beachside like fresh ceviche. The shrimp “cooks” in a citrus bath, then gets tossed with a colorful assortment of veggies. The roasted jalapeño adds a smoky heat that makes this dish sing.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh lime juice (8 to 9 limes)

Juice of 1 orange  

1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into 1/4-inch dice 

1 jalapeño  

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 

1/4 cup green olives, chopped 

1 mango, diced 

1 tomato, diced 

1/2 red bell pepper, diced 

1/2 green bell pepper, diced 

1/2 small red onion, diced  

2 cloves garlic, grated 

1/3 cup olive oil 

1 avocado, diced 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Stir together the lime juice and orange juice in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the shrimp are firm and opaque, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Broil the jalapeño until the skin is blackened all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.
  3. Toss together the cilantro, olives, mango, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic in a large bowl.

This was simply delicious. I left out the tomato and added additional green chili and serrano peppers to add to the spice kick. We used lionfish in addition to shrimp. Simply hands-down the best ceviche I’ve ever made. Highly recommend with or without all the ingredients.
