Ceviche Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat, add the shrimp, and poach until opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the shrimp and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Chop the shrimp into ½-inch pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, lime juice, chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt, and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- Just before serving, dice the avocado, add to the ceviche, and gently toss to combine. Serve with tostadas or tortilla chips, if desired.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the ceviche to marinate for a few hours before serving.
