Ingredients
For the Ceviche
- 1 lb shrimp Make sure the shrimp is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- ½ cup diced mango Adds a sweet, tropical twist that complements the dish beautifully.
- ½ cup diced avocado This creamy ingredient brings richness and balances the zesty lime juice.

- Cilantro for garnish A sprinkle of cilantro adds a fragrant finish that brightens the dish.
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Once done, drain them in a colander and set aside to cool completely.
- While the shrimp cools, dice your mango, avocado, red onion, and jalapeño into small, uniform pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced mango, avocado, red onion, and jalapeño. Gently fold the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture in the bowl. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the ceviche sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- After letting the ceviche chill, remove it from the fridge and give it a gentle stir. Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
Always opt for the freshest shrimp for the best flavor. Wait for flavors to meld in the fridge for enhanced enjoyment.
