Easy Ceviche de Camarón Recipe: A Tasty Seafood Dish
Table of Contents
¡Hola, foodies! It’s Chef Sara, back with a light and refreshing seafood treat straight from the coastlines—Ceviche de Camarón! This dish is packed with fresh shrimp, zesty lime, and colorful veggies that scream summer.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 6-8 limes)
- 1 medium red onion, finely diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Tortilla chips for serving
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp
Start by cutting the shrimp into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl and cover them with fresh lime juice. The acidity in the lime juice will “cook” the shrimp, turning them from translucent to opaque. Let this marinate for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Add the Veggies
While the shrimp is marinating, chop up the onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro. Once the shrimp is fully cooked by the lime juice, toss in all the veggies, giving the ceviche a beautiful burst of color and flavor.
Step 3: Season and Serve
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Finally, gently fold in the diced avocado for a creamy texture. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and lime wedges on the side.
