Shrimp Ceviche
Ingredients
- 400 g shrimps, peeled, cleaned and chopped (I personally like rather large chunks to enjoy the texture)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (it would be about 8 limes, so if the price of limes in your neck of the woods is quite high, like where I live now, feel free to mix some of the juice with lemon juice, it will make a passable adaptation)
- 1/3 red onion, sliced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 green chilli, or more for a spicier version, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped coriander
- 2 tbsp sliced green onion
- Olive oil for drizzling
- tortilla chips for scooping the ceviche
Instructions
- 1 Begin by placing shrimps, citrus juice, salt and red onion in a mixing bowl and let sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring a few times. Generally, if you cut your shrimps finer, you need less waiting time and vice versa.
