Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) cooked large shrimp, cut into bite-sized pieces
Fresh Produce:
- 1 cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pint (473 milliliters) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) chopped fresh cilantro
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chili lime seasoning
Instructions
- Dice shrimp into uniform, bite-sized pieces and place in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Finely chop cucumber, tomatoes, and jalapeno into petite, consistent cubes.
- Cut fresh mango into small, delicate segments, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice directly over the seafood and vegetable medley, allowing the citrus to initiate the marinating process.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro leaves generously across the preparation, adding a vibrant herbal dimension.
- Dust Tajin seasoning over the mixture, creating a zesty and tangy flavor profile.
- Gently fold all ingredients together, ensuring each component is thoroughly integrated.
- Sample the ceviche and adjust Tajin seasoning according to personal taste preferences.
- For optimal flavor development, cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for approximately 60 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and the shrimp to become perfectly “cooked” by the acidic lime juice.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer or light meal.
Notes
- Opt for fresh, high-quality shrimp to ensure the best taste and texture in your ceviche.
- Choose ripe, sweet mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch for a perfect balance of flavors.
- Chill the ingredients before mixing to enhance the refreshing nature of the dish and help the lime juice “cook” the shrimp more effectively.
- For a low-carb version, serve the ceviche in lettuce cups or over a bed of mixed greens instead of traditional chips.
