How to Make Shrimp Ceviche
  1. Prepare the Shrimp: If you're using raw shrimp, place them in a bowl and cover with lime juice for about 20 minutes. If using cooked shrimp, simply thaw and chop them into small pieces.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the chopped shrimp, diced avocado, quartered cherry tomatoes, sliced green onions, and minced jalapeno (if using). Drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle chopped cilantro, and add kosher salt for seasoning.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the ceviche for at least 20 minutes.
  4. Serve: After chilling, taste your ceviche and adjust any seasonings if necessary. Serve the vibrant mixture with crispy tortilla chips.
