A refreshing and tangy seafood dish made with fresh fish marinated in citrus juice and mixed with vegetables.
Servings: 4
Calories: 140kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh white fish cubed
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 1 tomato diced
- 1 cucumber diced
- 1 jalapeño minced
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cubed fish in a large, non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic). Pour the lime, lemon, and orange juices over the seafood, ensuring it is fully submerged.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the fish and shrimp turn opaque and firm. The acid in the citrus juices will "cook" the seafood.
- Once the seafood is "cooked," drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving a small amount in the bowl to keep the ceviche moist and flavorful.
- Mix in onion, tomato, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro. Gently toss everything together to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover the ceviche and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the ceviche chilled with tortilla chips or tostadas on the side. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges for extra zest.
