Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp

Marinate the Shrimp: Chop the shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the fresh lime juice over the shrimp, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque (this indicates that it’s “cooked” by the lime juice).

Step 2: Add Vegetables and Seasonings

Combine Ingredients: Once the shrimp has “cooked” in the lime juice, add the diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and serrano or jalapeño pepper.

Season: Add salt, black pepper, clamato juice (if using), a few dashes of hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to taste. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate: Let the ceviche sit in the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve: Spoon the ceviche onto tostadas or serve with tortilla chips. Garnish with avocado slices and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
