Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 fresh limes, juiced
  • 1 fresh lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño or chili pepper, diced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon grape juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Optional Variations

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mango, diced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • Additional fresh herbs like parsley or mint, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Boil the shrimp in salted water for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and firm. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the ideal texture.
  2. Marinate with Citrus: Once cooled and chopped into bite-size pieces, place the shrimp in a bowl and cover with freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice. Allow the shrimp to absorb the acidity for at least 15 minutes to develop flavor without overcooking.
  3. Mix in the Vegetables and Herbs: Dice the red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro, then gently fold them into the shrimp mixture to add crunch and freshness.
  4. Add the Flavor Boosters: Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grape juice, salt, and black pepper evenly to enhance and balance the flavors.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the ceviche for at least 15 minutes to blend the flavors and serve cold. Garnish optionally with fresh cilantro leaves, avocado slices, or crunchy tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Use the freshest shrimp possible for the best texture and flavor.
  • Marinate the shrimp for 15-30 minutes to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • Chop shrimp and vegetables uniformly for balanced bites.
  • Keep ceviche chilled until serving to maintain freshness and safety.
  • Adjust citrus juice amounts for preferred acidity.
