Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and cilantro. Ensure everything is evenly mixed for a balanced flavor.
Pour lime juice, lemon juice, and salsa into the mix. Stir gently, making sure each ingredient is coated with the juices.
Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir to incorporate the seasonings fully, enhancing the overall taste.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the dish to become nicely chilled.
Once chilled, give it a quick stir and serve cold. Pair with tortilla chips or crackers for the best experience.
Notes
Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use fresh lime and lemon juice for the most vibrant flavor.
Serve Immediately: While you can prepare it ahead, serving Shrimp Ceviche soon after it's ready ensures the texture stays optimal.
Safe Seafood: Always ensure your shrimp is fully cooked before making ceviche to avoid any safety issues.
Balance the Acidity: Adjust the citrus juice quantities to taste.
Spice it Up: For a spicier dish, add more jalapeño or hot sauce.
