A fresh, bright, and easy shrimp ceviche ready in just 10 minutes, combining sweet mango, spicy jalapeño, creamy avocado, and zesty lime juice for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • Juice of 3 fresh limes (about 4 tablespoons or 60 ml)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a pinch
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Chop the cooked shrimp into 1/2 inch bite-sized pieces. Dice the ripe mango into similar sizes. Peel and dice the avocado just before mixing to avoid browning. Finely chop the jalapeño after removing seeds (or keep some seeds if you like it spicy). Dice the red onion finely.
  2. Mix the lime juice and seasoning: In a medium mixing bowl, pour in the fresh lime juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir gently to dissolve the salt.
  3. Combine and toss: Add the chopped shrimp, mango, jalapeño, and red onion into the lime juice mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly, being careful not to mash the mango or avocado.
  4. Add avocado and cilantro: Carefully fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro. Drizzle the olive oil on top if using and give a final light toss.
  5. Rest briefly or serve immediately: Ideally, let the ceviche rest for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator to meld the flavors, but it can be served immediately if desired.

Notes

Use cooked shrimp to save time and ensure tender texture. Add avocado last to prevent browning. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control spice level. Let ceviche rest 5-10 minutes for best flavor but serve soon to keep avocado fresh. Use fresh lime juice for best acidity. Store leftovers in airtight container and consume within 24 hours; do not reheat.
