Ingredients
  

Marinated Shrimp

  • 1 lb. Raw Shrimp 40/50, deveined, shelled, chopped
  • 2 Limes juiced
  • 2 Lemons juiced

Mango Salsa

  • 3 cups Tomatoes fresh, diced
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion diced
  • 1-2 Garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Mangoes diced (see video)
  • 1-2 Jalapenos seeded, ribs removed (optional), diced
  • 2 Avocados diced
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro fresh, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate Shrimp

  • In medium bowl, place (raw, deveined, shelled) chopped shrimp with lime and lemon juices. Let marinate for 30-45 minutes until shrimp is opaque. The citric acid from the juice will cook the shrimp.

Make Mango Salsa

  • While shrimp is marinating, make the salsa. Start by dicing tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Season with salt. I think 1/2 teaspoon is a good amount, but if you are watching your salt intake do less.
  • Finish dicing the rest of the ingredients for salsa and add to the tomatoes. Sprinkle with another 1/2 teaspoon of salt, if needed.

Finish Ceviche

  • Once the shrimp is opaque (solid white-ish pink in color), combine the shrimp with juices and salsa. Stir and taste. Add a sprinkle of salt, if needed.
  • Enjoy with sturdy tortilla chips, in lettuce cups, or by the spoonful.

Notes

This recipe can easily be halved. I find that whenever I make a half batch, I wish I would've made a whole batch.
Don't be tempted to add the avocados into the shrimp and juices while marinating. This causes the shrimp to get coated from the fat in the avocados. Which means it stops the "cooking" process on the shrimp. I speak from experience.
This is perfect as an appetizer; however, we enjoy it as a meal.
