    🥑 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Shrimp: for the freshest shrimp possible, use raw, frozen shrimp. They're not usually shelled, but it's quick and easy to do!
    • Mango: this sweet, slightly tart, refreshing fruit is perfect for ceviche!
    • Avocado - did you know that, depending on the country of origin of your avocados, you run the risk of enriching the mafia? Find out more about green gold and alternatives in this Eco Tips.
    • Onions: for variety, I use both red and spring onions. You can take just one or the other without worry.
    • Tomatoes: in season from June to September inclusive, so treat yourself!
    • Coconut milk: it's delicious but can be a real poison.
    • Lime: this is what cooks the shrimp - it's magic!
    • Sesame oil to add a slightly roasted flavour to the sauce.
    • Ginger and soy sauce to flavour the sauce.
    • Fresh herbs: mint and coriander.

    ✅ Gluten-free version

    To make this recipe gluten-free, buy a gluten-free soy sauce.

    🥰 Chef's tips

    1. If you're not using frozen shrimp: check on the packaging or with your fishmonger that they have been frozen beforehand, to eliminate any potential bacteria.
    2. The trick to cooking shrimps without heat is to soak them in a bowl with salt and lime juice for 30 to 40 minutes in the fridge.
    3. Don't cook the shrimp for too long: over 40 minutes will result in rubbery shrimp.
    4. Be careful with the amount of lime juice : the shrimps must be well covered with lime juice, otherwise they may not cook through.
    5. Serve well chilled: it's even better and perfect for a refreshing summer meal.

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    What type of shrimp should I use?

    Medium-sized shrimp in sizes 16-20 or 21-25 are perfect.

    Can I use pre-cooked shrimp?

    Technically, no, since traditional ceviche uses the method of cooking a raw seafood product with lemon juice. That said, you can still use cooked shrimp, just skip the cooking step.

    Can I do it in advance?

    No, because the shrimp will be overcooked: make it at the last minute.

    What to bring along?

    I like to serve it with wheat or corn tortilla chips. I cut the tortillas into triangles, sprinkle them with olive oil and herbs (like oregano) and bake them for 10-15 minutes at 200°C in the oven. You can also serve it on toast.

    Which wine to drink with it?

    I recommend a light, fresh white wine. You have several options: Sauvignon Blanc, Vinho Verde, Albariño, dry Riesling, unoaked Chardonnay, etc... A sparkling white wine can also be delicious, such as Prosecco or Cava.

    ❄️Storage

    Shrimp ceviche is best eaten fresh. Store in an airtight Tupperware-style container in the fridge and enjoy within 24 hours.

    Never refreeze a product that has been thawed.

    Easy shrimp ceviche

    Light, refreshing, and super easy, this marinated shrimp ceviche is perfect for indulging on a hot summer day.
    Servings 4 servings
    Prep Time 15 minutes mins
    Resting time 30 minutes mins
    Total Time 45 minutes mins

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups shrimp raw and unpeeled
    • 1 mango
    • 1 avocado
    • 2 small tomatoes
    • 1.5 limes

    For the sauce

    • ¾ cup coconut milk
    • 1 green onion
    • ½ red onion
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons fresh mint
    • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
    • salt to taste
    • black pepper to taste

    To serve (optional)

    • 4 corn tortillas
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ground sweet paprika
    • 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Rinse your shrimp under cold water, then peel and remove the heads. Normally, a black thread will come off with them, which is the intestines. If you don't see it, use a pick to remove it; it is in the middle of the back. Place the shrimp in a bowl and cover with lime juice. Add salt and refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes: it's the lime that will cook the shrimp.
    • Then, prepare the sauce by mixing coconut milk, finely chopped red and green onions, sesame oil, ginger, soy sauce, and pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of lime juice from the shrimp (adjust according to your taste) when they are cooked.
    • Place the cooked shrimp in a bowl (without their lime juice), cut the mango, avocado, tomatoes, and red onion into small cubes. Mix everything well, add the sauce, and sprinkle with fresh mint and cilantro leaves.

    Optional: Tortilla chips

    • Cut your tortillas into rough triangles. Drizzle with olive oil, paprika, and oregano, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes in an oven preheated to 390°F/200°C in convection mode (top and bottom heat).
