Ingredients

The Ceviche

1 lb shrimp (16 large) raw, wild caught, peeled and deveined
7 limes juiced
1 lemon juiced
1 orange juiced
chili flakes to taste
Tajin to taste
1 red onion finely diced
1 cup tomato finely diced
1.5 cups cucumber finely diced
1 jalapeno optional
1 avocado finely chopped
¼ bunch cilantro or parsley

To Serve

tortilla chips or tostadas
hot sauce

Instructions

Make sure the shrimp is fresh, thawed, peeled, and deveined. If you are nervous about raw seafood, please use pre-cooked instead.
Cut the shrimp into bit size pieces and add to a bowl.
Pour over the freshly squeezed lime, lemon, and orange juice. Cover it and let it sit in the fridge for 1-1.5 hours or until the citrus has "cooked" the shrimp and it's no longer translucent.
When the shrimp is ready, add in chili flakes, Tajin, onion, cucumber, tomato, avocado, jalapeno (optional) and cilantro.
Note: if you don't like cilantro, please use parsley instead.
Mix well and serve right away with tortilla chips or tostadas. Feel free to add hot sauce on top if you're feeling spicy 🔥
