Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Marinate the ceviche for at least 15–20 minutes before serving so flavors meld; longer marinating times are fine since the shrimp is already cooked.
Toast or warm tostadas just before assembly to keep them crispy; soggy tostadas are the main texture issue with this dish.
Dice ingredients uniformly so they coat evenly with citrus juice and distribute nicely on each tostada.
Reserve extra citrus juice to drizzle over tostadas at the table; acidity balances the richness of avocado.

Substitutions

Roma tomato → cherry tomatoes, halved (easier to dice uniformly)
English cucumber → regular cucumber (peel and seed to remove excess water)
Jalapeño → serrano pepper (spicier) or omit entirely (milder)
Cilantro → parsley (if cilantro tastes soapy to you) or mint (different but bright)

Storage & make-ahead

Store the ceviche mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days; assemble with tostadas just before serving to maintain crispness.

Common Questions

Can you use raw shrimp instead of cooked shrimp?

This recipe uses cooked shrimp, which is ready to serve immediately after marinating. Raw shrimp would require longer marinating time for food safety and texture changes.
