Step 1

Thaw your shrimp (if using frozen) under cold running water. Remove the tails. If using raw shrimp, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a colander and run some cold water over them and toss to cool. If you are using pre-cooked shrimp, there is no need to cook them any further after thawing.

Step 2

Chop up the shrimp into 1/2 inch pieces. Add it to a bowl along with the diced red onion, jalapeno, cucumber, and citrus juices. Stir well, then cover and place into the refrigerator for 1 hour (minimum - you can leave it there longer if needed). 30 minutes before you are ready to serve the ceviche, add in the avocado, tomato, cilantro, and salt to taste. Toss to combine and place it back into the fridge for 30 minutes (minimum).

Step 3

The flavors will meld the longer it sits. I would recommend eating this ceviche within 1-2 days for freshest flavor and best results. Enjoy with some paleo chips, tostadas, tostones, or homemade plantain chips!
