How to Make Avocado Shrimp Ceviche
1. Cure the Shrimp in Lime Juice
Place the chopped shrimp in a large bowl. Add lime juice and stir to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp appear opaque. The acidity of the lime juice cures the shrimp perfectly.
2. Add Fresh Vegetables
Mix in the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and cilantro. Ensure all ingredients are coated with the lime juice. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to enhance the flavors.
3. Incorporate the Sauces and Seasoning
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. You can also leave the hot sauce out for customization when serving.
4. Serve and Garnish
Spoon the ceviche into glass tumblers or serving bowls. Top each serving with diced avocado for added creaminess. Provide lime wedges, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and extra hot sauce on the side for individual preferences.
5. Pair with Crackers or Chips
Serve the ceviche with saltine crackers or tortilla chips for a satisfying crunch.
