Ingredients:
- 20 oz- 16/20 shrimp, peeled, deveined & tails removed
- ⅓ cup- fresh lime juice
- ⅓ cup- fresh lemon juice

- ¾ cup- red onion-chopped
- ½ cup- cilantro- chopped
- 1 cup- cucumber, peeled & diced
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- Medium jalapeno, diced
- Salt and Pepper
- Chips and Toastadas to serve
Instructions:
1. Chop the shrimp into small pieces, no larger than ½ an inch in size
2. In a non-reactive bowl (plastic or stainless steel), combine the shrimp, juices, onion,
tomato, cilantro, & jalapeno. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

cucumber.

Ceviche is a method where the acids from the juices will cook the shrimp. You will see it go
from the gray color of raw shrimp to the white-cooked color over time. The acid does the same
thing to the proteins that heat does. If you aren’t comfortable with the “raw” method, you can
poach the shrimp first to cook them before marinating them in the rest of the ingredients.
