Ingredients

For the Ceviche

12 ounces cooked shrimp Use peeled and deveined shrimp; raw shrimp can also work as the lime juice will effectively 'cook' them.
½ cup fresh lime juice Freshly squeezed is recommended to add the best zesty flavor.
2 units Roma tomatoes, diced Provides a sweet and juicy contrast; grape tomatoes can be a tasty alternative.
1 medium red onion, diced Adds a crunchy, sharp bite; sweet onions serve as a milder option.
2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced For a spicy kick; feel free to swap with bell pepper for a gentler taste.
¼ cup cilantro, chopped Enriches the flavor profile with fresh herb notes; substitute with parsley if you prefer.
2 units green onions, diced Adds a hint of onion flavor and vibrant color; chives work as a great substitute.
¼ teaspoon kosher salt Elevates all the flavors; adjust to taste for your preference.

Preparation Steps

Start by chopping the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a medium mixing bowl.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the chopped shrimp, tossing gently to coat all pieces evenly. Allow the shrimp to soak in the lime juice for about 10 minutes.
Mix in the diced Roma tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeños to the shrimp bowl.
Sprinkle in the chopped cilantro, green onions, and kosher salt. Stir everything together gently.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the ceviche to chill for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Once chilled, give the ceviche a quick stir before serving.
