Pickled Jalapeño Shrimp Ceviche recipe

 

My pickled jalapeno shrimp ceviche is a Lenten favorite but even better in summer.

Featuring pickled jalapeños and the pickling brine from pickled jalapeños this ceviche comes together in no time.

Served with crispy plantain chips or tortilla chips, my pickled jalapeños shrimp ceviche is sure to be a hit.

Jalapenos, a touch of pickling brine, orange juice and lime juice cook our diced shrimp, giving it a touch of heat – cucumber, red onion, bell peppers and cilantro add a pop of freshness and color.

WHAT IS CEVICHE?

Ceviche is an appetizer dish made of seafood. Diced raw seafood is marinated in citrus juices. The acid from the citrus juice “cooks” the seafood. The seafood is cooked without heat.  For this recipe shrimp is used to make the ceviche: find tips on selecting the freshest shrimp here.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE PICKLED JALAPENO SHRIMP CEVICHE

shrimp: Fresh raw shrimp, peeled and deveined with the tails removed. I recommend using medium to large sized shrimp, 31/40 count shrimp.

orange juice & lime juice: fresh citrus juices cook the shrimp, while adding fresh flavors – fresh is best when making homemade ceviche.

jalapeño pickling brine: the brine from pickled jalapeños adds a little heat to our ceviche.

cucumber, bell peppers & red onion: fresh vegetables add texture, flavor, and color to our ceviche.  

jalapeño pepper: for this recipe we are using pickled jalapeños, not fresh – subtle heat that does not overpower the shrimp.

cilantro: before serving, garnish with cilantro.

Plantain chips: I served my ceviche with plantain chips; tortilla chips or tostadas work well also.
