Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Cooked shrimp – 1 lb (about 450g)
- Fresh lime juice – 1/2 cup (about 120ml)
- Avocado (plant-based) – 1 large, cubed
- Red onion – 1 small, finely diced
- Tomatoes – 2 medium, diced
- Cilantro – 1/4 cup, chopped
- Jalapeño – 1, seeded and finely diced
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – 1 tablespoon
- Olive oil (natural) – 2 tablespoons
- Salt – to taste
- Black pepper – to taste
- Cucumber – 1/2 medium, diced
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Finely dice the red onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and jalapeño. Chop the cilantro and cube the avocado (plant-based) just before combining to keep it fresh and creamy.
- Combine the Shrimp and Lime Juice: In a large bowl, toss the cooked shrimp with freshly squeezed lime juice, making sure each piece is lightly coated. This infuses the shrimp with the tangy brightness classic to ceviche.
- Mix in the Vegetables and Herbs: Add the diced onion, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro to the shrimp and lime mix. Gently fold them together to distribute flavor evenly without bruising the avocado (plant-based).
- Add Seasonings and Olive Oil: Drizzle with olive oil (natural) and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Season with salt and pepper to taste, then fold everything carefully to blend all the vibrant, fresh flavors together.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled for a fresh, refreshing bite.
Notes
- Choose high-quality cooked shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best zesty punch.
- Gently fold ingredients to keep avocado (plant-based) from becoming mushy.
- Add jalapeño slowly, tasting as you go to avoid overpowering the dish.
- Enjoy the ceviche fresh within 24 hours for maximum flavor and texture.
- Substitute vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) with a splash of soy sauce (natural) or tamari combined with apple cider vinegar if needed.
