Shrimp Ceviche with Cucumbers and Jalapeno

“Boil” prawns in lime juice to prepare this spicy prawn ceviche with fresh coriander, cucumber and jalapeño. The perfect summer starter!

Shrimp Ceviche

This ceviche recipe is an incredibly easy dish that will amaze you. Plus, no oven or stove is required, which makes it perfect for summer. Simply combine the prawns with the onion, lime juice and salt for 20 minutes and then add the other vegetables. That’s it! Serve a delicious starter for your beach house, boat or garden with tortilla chips. Some of my ceviche-inspired recipes are this Ceviche Shrimp Cocktail, Canned Tuna Ceviche, Vegan Mushroom Ceviche, and Ceviche Pickle Cups.

How to make shrimp ceviche

The key to shrimp ceviche is to use super fresh shrimp, preferably those caught the same day you plan to eat them. If you don’t have access to fresh prawns, frozen wild prawns, cooked prawns, or fresh white fish will also work.

The prawns only need about 20 minutes to “cook” in the lime juice. Once the prawns are opaque, they’re done.

How long can ceviche keep?

It is best to eat shrimp ceviche on the day of preparation to prevent bacteria from growing. It will last up to a day in the refrigerator if you start with shrimp straight from the boat.

Serve

Ceviche is the perfect starter or light dinner. I like to eat it as a dip with tortilla chips or plantain chips, but the ceviche would also be great as tacos, tostadas or in a salad.

Variations:

• Place the avocado or red bell pepper in the ceviche.
• For a spicy ceviche, leave the ribs and seeds in the jalapeños. If you like it milder, remove them.
• Swap the jalapeño for a serrano.
• Substitute the shrimp for a fresh white fish, like mahi mahi, striped bass, or flounder.
• Use cooked shrimp if you don’t have fresh, raw shrimp.
