Ceviche is one of those dishes that sounds more complicated than it is. This recipe uses cooked shrimp, citrus, fresh vegetables, thirty minutes in the fridge. No heat, no smell, no pan. The acid does the work of flavor more than cooking. This is the kind of meal that feels like real food rather than a compromise, which matters when your appetite is unreliable and you need it to count.

Chef's Note
Rinse and dry the shrimp. Rinsing reduces sodium, and they have to be dried or the water will dilute the lemon lime acid. Avoid leaving the shrimp in the marinade for too long. After 45 minutes to an hour, the acid will start to cook the protein, making it rubbery. Since the shrimp is already cooked, 20-30 minutes is enough. If you are using fresh shrimp, let them marinate for 45 minutes. Ensure the avocado is added just before serving to preserve the fiber and healthy fat structure. It is best served within 4 hours of preparing. Fridge life is 1-2 days, but the acid will continue to cook the shrimp, making them a little rubbery over time.
