Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dice all vegetables uniformly (about 1/4-inch) so flavors blend evenly and texture remains crisp.
Add avocado 15–20 minutes before serving to prevent browning from lime juice exposure.
Taste and adjust salt and lime juice in the final 5 minutes—citrus flavor will intensify as it sits.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for brightness; bottled juice mutes the dish.

Substitutions

Cooked shrimp → lump crab meat or diced white fish (adjust marinating time if using raw fish)
Mango → fresh pineapple or peaches (maintains sweetness and texture)
Red onion → white onion or shallots (red onion adds color; white is milder)
Cilantro → parsley or mint (cilantro is traditional; substitutes shift flavor profile slightly)

Storage & make-ahead

Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days; assemble just before serving to maintain crispness. Do not freeze.

Common Questions

Can I use raw shrimp for ceviche?

This recipe uses pre-cooked shrimp, so no additional 'cooking' in lime juice is needed. Raw shrimp require longer marinating and proper handling; follow food safety guidelines if substituting.

How far ahead can I make ceviche?

Prep components separately and assemble up to 2 hours before serving. Adding lime juice and avocado shortly before serving prevents sogginess and browning.
