Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled + chopped
  • 3 large lime, juiced
  • 1 cucumber, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded + minced
  • 1 Roma tomato, seeded + diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch shrimp 1–2 min until just opaque; drain and chill in ice water. (Lime juice alone doesn't make seafood safe — cook it first, ceviche-style flavor after.)
  2. Toss the cooled shrimp with lime juice + salt in a glass bowl. Refrigerate 15 min to soak up the citrus.
  3. Drain excess liquid. Fold in cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, tomato, cilantro.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 15 sec/side — brush with olive oil for crispier edges. Fill with ceviche; top with avocado + a squeeze of lime.
