(If you don’t want to use ice water, just set it aside and let it cool for about 10 minutes, so you could easily handle it)
- Drain shrimp really well then chop into ½ inch pieces and transfer to a bowl.
- Add lime juice, lemon juice, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno pepper to the shrimp bowl. Sprinkle some salt and pepper according to taste, then mix to combine everything.
- Place in your fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Add in the cucumber and avocado before serving (if you want you can strain off a little bit of the extra juices)
- Enjoy this delicious ceviche with crackers or tortilla chips!
