Mango and Shrimp Ceviche

Awaken your senses with this refreshing and vibrant Mango and Shrimp Ceviche. The sweet and juicy mangos, succulent shrimp, and creamy avocado come together beautifully with a hint of tanginess from the lime juice and a kick of heat from the jalapeno. This light yet satisfying dish, rooted in the coastal regions of Latin America, is an excellent appetizer or a stand-alone meal on a warm day.

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

  • Large shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
  • Fresh lime juice (1/2 cup)
  • Mango (1 large, peeled and diced)
  • Red onion (1 small, finely diced)
  • Cilantro (1/2 cup, chopped)
  • Jalapeno (1, seeds and veins removed, finely chopped)
  • Avocado (1 large, peeled and diced)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Tortilla chips (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Drain the shrimp and allow them to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, diced mango, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, finely chopped jalapeno, and diced avocado.
  3. Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and add them to the large bowl.
  4. Season the mixture with salt to your preference, and gently toss everything together to combine. The lime juice should evenly coat all the ingredients.
  5. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together, creating a more robust and flavorful dish.
  6. Serve the Mango and Shrimp Ceviche chilled, with tortilla chips on the side for a delightful crunch. Enjoy it as a refreshing appetizer, a light lunch, or a healthy snack.
