Step by step

1. 1

   Cook the Shrimp: Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2– 3 minutes, just until pink and opaque. Immediately transfer to an ice bath, then drain well.

2. 2

   Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Marinate the Shrimp: Add the cooled shrimp to the citrus mixture and gently toss. Cover and refrigerate for 15– 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

4. 4

   Add the Fresh Ingredients: Stir in the mango or pineapple, red onion, bell pepper, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro.

5. 5

   Chill: Cover and refrigerate for another 10– 15 minutes so the flavors can blend.

6. 6

   Assemble & Serve: Spoon the ceviche into serving glasses, bowls, or jars. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices, and serve chilled with lime wedges.
