Easy Shrimp Ceviche with Mango Pineapple Avocado

This delicious combination of Shrimp, Avocados, Mangoes, Pineapple, and Jalapeno Peppers is simple and easy to make. Do you love Shrimp Ceviche yet hate waiting for the lime juice to cook it? I have a simple cure for that. This recipe for Easy Shrimp Ceviche has all of the flavors, yet none of the long wait times. It looks stunning in a wine glass, champagne glass, martini glass, or a South American vibe, using a Margarita glass.

Ceviche is marinated in a citrus-based mixture, with lemons and limes being the most commonly used in the recipe. In addition to adding a citrus flavor, the citric acid causes the seafood’s proteins to appear to be cooked. The traditional-style ceviche was marinated for about three hours.

Ceviche is a trendy seafood dish in the coastal regions of Latin America. Ceviche and typically made from fresh raw fish cured in lemon or lime juice and spiced with ají or chili peppers. Additional seasonings, such as chopped onions, salt, and cilantro, may also be added.

Since the 80’s Ceviche has become a trendy international dish prepared in various ways throughout The United Staes, the widest variety of ceviches are found in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador. Other distinctly unique styles can also be found in coastal Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Guatemala, the United States, Mexico, Panama, the Caribbean, and several other nations.

Below you will find my simplified version of Shrimp Ceviche, which also eliminates the chance of any bacteria forming due to improper processing of the traditional cooking method used in the past. Since acid marinades will not kill bacteria or parasitic worms, I have eliminated that process, unlike cooking heat.
