What is shrimp ceviche?

Shrimp ceviche, also known as seviche, cebiche, or sebiche, is a seafood dish similar to a shrimp cocktail. It is made using fresh shrimp that is marinated and “cooked” in a large amount of lime juice. Shrimp ceviche is served cold and traditionally includes various fresh, finely chopped vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, garlic and cilantro.

What is Mexican ceviche made of?

The exact ingredients in Mexican shrimp ceviche, also known as Ceviche de Camarón, will depend upon the region you are in. However, most recipes will include at least the following basic ingredients:

  • Shrimp: High-quality medium-sized raw shrimp works the best. Make sure you peel, devein and remove the tail first. Then, dice the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
  • Onion: Onions lend a good amount of sharp, savory flavor. You can use red or white onion depending upon your preference.
  • Tomato: Juicy, fresh seeded and finely chopped tomatoes are a must! I like firm roma tomatoes the best in ceviche.
  • Chile Peppers: Stemmed, seeded and finely diced chile peppers are a traditional ingredient. You can use either jalapeno or serrano peppers depending upon your heat preference. A serrano pepper is about 3 times hotter than a jalapeno.
  • Cilantro: Herbaceous fresh cilantro provides tons of fresh flavor! However, if you are averse to cilantro you can substitute flat-leaf parsley.
  • Fresh Citrus Juice: The acid in citrus juice is what ‘cooks’ the shrimp. Since citrus is a key ingredient, I highly recommend you use fresh citrus juice! This recipe uses fresh lime juice, however you can substitute lemon juice for a slightly different flavor.

Mexican ceviche variations

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s extremely customizable! Feel free to mix things up and add any fresh vegetables you have on hand or love!

What to add to shrimp ceviche:

  • Carrots (peeled and finely diced)
  • Avocado (cut into small cubes)
  • Diced Bell Peppers (seeded and diced)
  • Cucumber (peeled, seeded and finely chopped)
  • Pimento Stuffed Olives
  • Radishes (thinly sliced)
  • Scallions (thinly sliced)
  • Diced Fruit (mango or pineapple)
  • Dried Mexican Oregano
  • Good-quality Hot Sauce
  • Ketchup
  • Clamato Juice (tomato and clam juice cocktail)

How to make shrimp ceviche?

Mexican ceviche is not just incredibly delicious, it’s also ridiculously quick and easy to prepare! It doesn’t require a whole lot of thought or effort, and no real cooking is needed!

  1. Make the creamy sauce: Add baja sauce ingredients to a food processor. Pulse and puree until smooth and creamy.
  2. Marinate the shrimp: Combine shrimp and lime juice in a large non-reactive bowl. Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Add vegetables: Drain the shrimp and add chopped vegetables plus more lime juice. Toss well to combine
  4. Marinate again: Refrigerate the shrimp for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until shrimp are firm, opaque and appear ‘cooked’.
  5. Serve: Eat the shrimp ceviche plain, drizzle it with creamy sauce, or serve it over tostadas!

Boom. All the succulent shrimp ceviche for you!

How to make Mexican ceviche step by step photos:

How to know when shrimp ceviche is done?

The exact marinating time for ceviche will depend upon the citrus you’ve used and the size of the shrimp. Not all citrus is created equal; the acidity in limes (and lemons) can vary. As well, the smaller you dice the shrimp, the faster it will ‘cook’.

The best way to to tell is ceviche is done is to look at the shrimp. Shrimp are ‘cooked’ and ready to eat when their flesh is firm and slightly opaque in color.

Can you overcook ceviche?

Ceviche can be over-marinated or ‘overcooked’. If the shrimp remains in the citrus juice for too long, or if your citrus is very acidic, the proteins will unfold too much. This will cause the shrimp to ‘overcook’ and become very tough and rubbery.

Leaving the shrimp in the citrus marinade for longer than necessary will not improve the flavor or quality of the shrimp; it will simply ‘overcook’ them.

Is Mexican shrimp ceviche safe to eat?

Ceviche is safe to eat. While the shrimp in ceviche isn’t cooked since it has not been heated, it isn’t raw either. Marinating the shrimp in a large amount of citric acid (lime juice) essentially ‘cooks’ the shrimp. Both heat and citric acids are agents of a chemical cooking process called denaturation. The denaturation of proteins cause molecules in the shrimp to unravel which alters the shrimp’s physical and chemical properties. When shrimp is immersed and marinated in citrus juice, denaturation turns the shrimps flesh firm and opaque, as if it had been cooked by heat.

In order to ensure you ceviche is safe, you must use fresh fish from a trust source or reputable fishmonger.  Citric acid will not kill any bacteria the same way heat does. Therefore, it is very important you use fresh, parasite-free shrimp! If you are unsure what seafood is freshest at the market, tell them you are making ceviche and ask for the freshest shrimp they have available.

Using pre-cooking shrimp: If you are not comfortable with raw shrimp in ceviche, you can use cooked shrimp. Leave the shrimp whole and thoroughly pat it dry to remove moisture. Do not marinate the shrimp. Instead, simply toss it with lime juice, diced vegetables and cilantro. Serve immediately. Do not allow the pre-cooked shrimp to marinate in citrus juice or it will over-cook the shrimp, causing it to become very tough, rubbery and unappetizing.

Is shrimp ceviche healthy?

Mexican ceviche is considered an inherently healthy dish. It is made up of lean, protein-rich shrimp, nutrient-dense vegetables and antioxidant-packed lime juice. Ceviche is prepared with fresh ingredients and does not include any processed foods.

This shrimp ceviche recipe is high in protein, vitamins and nutrients. And, it’s low in carbs, calories and unhealthy fats! If you are looking to keep things extremely healthy, skip the creamy baja sauce!

How long can shrimp ceviche last?

Ceviche is best enjoyed fresh on the same day it is made. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

Pro-tip:  If you are wanting to store leftover ceviche, drain all the lime juice from the prepared Mexican ceviche. Keep the ceviche in a tightly sealed container. Removing the excess lime juice will prevent the shrimp from overcooking.

Can you freeze it?

Fresh shrimp ceviche does not freeze well! I recommend eating ceviche the day it is made.

What to serve with ceviche tostadas?

Mexican ceviche is incredibly refreshing and bursting with bright flavors and fresh texture! It can be served as an seafood appetizer, side dish or a light meal! Ceviche is traditionally served with saltine crackers. However, feel free to get creative! Serve this ceviche with whatever you and your family love!

  • 1 whole Roma Tomato – cored and finely diced
  • 1 small Carrot – finely chopped
  • 1 whole Jalapeno – stemmed, seeded and finely diced

  • ½ Jalapeno – roughly chopped(seeds and ribs removed if you do not want a spicy sauce)
  • 1 heaping TBS Red Onion – roughly chopped
  • 1 Clove Garlic – smashed and peeled
  • ¾ Cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ whole Lime – Juiced (about 1 TBS)
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • ¼ tsp Cumin

Optional for Serving: Corn Tortillas or Tostada Shells (SEE NOTES)

    Optional for Garnish: Thinly Sliced Radishes, Thinly Sliced Scallions, Diced Avocado

      Instructions

      • Make the Baja Sauce: In the bowl of a food processor add – bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic and red onion.

      Video

      Notes

      1. Baja sauce is best if the flavors are allowed to marry for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator. Sauce will keep up to 5 days, covered, in the refrigerator.
      2. To make your own Tostadas:
        Pan Cook: Place a skillet over medium heat and add ¼ - ½ teaspoon olive oil. Add tortillas, one at a time, to skillet and cook 1 minute per side or until golden. Repeat with remaining tortillas and oil. (This is the method I used)
        Deep Fry: Add enough canola oil to a 6 quart saucepan to come up 2’’ from the bottom of pot. Heat over medium-high until a thermometer reaches 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry (6’’) corn tortillas until crisp, about 1 minute each. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate, season with salt and allow to drain.
        Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake, flipping over halfway through, for 5-7 minutes or until crisp.
      Nutritional information is an approximation based upon 6 servings and does not include the tostadas.  Exact information will depend upon the brands of ingredients and precise measurements used.

        Hey girl – so sorry to hear you were sick too. There is so much JUNK going around, and I can’t wait ’til summer hits and we can say goodbye to the yuck. Seriously hope you are feeling much better, still have some sick kids here, just came from the doctor’s office. Hopefully we will all be better in time for Cinco de Mayo to enjoy these amazingly jam packed tostadas. Love everything you included, so much flavor!!!! and so pretty as usual. Pinned. Drink lots of H2O and hope you are feeling better in time for the weekend. XO

        These tostadas look perfect, Cheyanne. Ceviche is my favorite, I love how fresh the ingredients in it are. I too am a shrimp lover & would probably eat the whole bowl in one sitting.

It was sunny all weekend and we did lots of relaxing and few odds and ends around the house. Lots of good eats, that’s for sure 🙂 These shrimp ceviche tostadas looks so refreshing and delicious!
