Mango Shrimp Ceviche Recipe
A tropical-inspired ceviche featuring fresh shrimp, sweet mango, lime juice, and herbs, perfect for a refreshing appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup fresh mango, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for spice)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 avocado, diced (optional)
- Tortilla chips for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with lime juice and orange juice. Let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes until the shrimp turns opaque and "cooked."
- Drain excess liquid and add the mango, red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold in diced avocado if using.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for tostadas.
Notes
- If using raw shrimp, ensure it marinates long enough in the lime juice to fully "cook."
- You can substitute cooked shrimp to save time; simply toss all ingredients together and serve immediately.
