Just in time for summer, this ceviche recipe is a can't miss first course packed with clean, fresh flavors.

Known for its simplicity and bold taste, shrimp ceviche is a celebration of freshness. This ceviche recipe uses cooked shrimp soaked in a citrusy marinade to create the fresh, bold flavor of shrimp ceviche in less time.

At its roots, a true shrimp ceviche dish is essentially raw shrimp "cooked" in a bath of lime or lemon juice, where the acid tenderizes and infuses the shrimp with a burst of tangy flavors.

The magic of a true ceviche lies in the marinating process, transforming the texture of the shrimp into a delicate and slightly opaque form, signaling its readiness for consumption. The harmony of vibrant ingredients such as ripe tomatoes, crisp onions, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro complements the citrus-infused shrimp.

Our ceviche recipe is perfect for those who are pinched for time. Instead of starting with raw shrimp, use a pouch or two of cooked Prime Shrimp Simply Shrimp to speed things up. Since the shrimp starts cooked, all that’s left to do is marinate it in the citrusy dressing and you’re good to go.
