15-Minute Ceviche de Camaron (Easy Shrimp Ceviche)

Ceviche de camaron is a 15-minute shrimp ceviche made with red onion, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, and citrus. The shrimp cures in lime juice until tender, creating a no-cook dish packed with fresh, bright flavor. Serve it chilled with mariquitas or tostones for an easy appetizer that feels special but couldn’t be simpler.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
• 2/3 cup finely diced cucumber
• 1/2 cup finely diced tomato
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice ((from 3-4 limes))
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice ((from 1-2 oranges))
• Salt + pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the shrimp into small 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer them to a bowl.
2. 2Add the red onion, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, and salt + pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine with the shrimp.
3. 3Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes.
4. 4Since the shrimp is cut into smaller pieces, it cures/cooks quickly. The shrimp is ready when it's no longer grey or translucent. The shrimp should look pink and feel firm to the touch.
5. 5Drain the liquid. Serve the ceviche chilled with lime wedges, tortilla chips, tostones, plantain chips, and/or stuffed into sliced avocados. Enjoy!
