Servings: 4 people
Calories: 204kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz prawns
- 1 cup lime juice, divided (about 8 medium)
- ½ cup Persian cucumber
- ½ cup tomato
- ¼ cup red onion
- 1 radish
- 2 serranos
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 2 teaspoon orange juice (fresh)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 avocado
Instructions
- Chop prawns into bite-sized pieces after removing shells and veins, if necessary. Place them in a small, non-reactive bowl and submerge in ¾ cup lime juice and refrigerate for 1 hour or until opaque, stirring halfway through.
- Remove shrimp from fridge, drain and discard lime juice. Dice cucumber, tomato (seeded), red onion, radish, serranos, and cilantro, then add to a bowl with the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and stir to combine.
- Mix ¼ cup lime juice with coconut milk and orange juice and pour into the bottom of your serving bowl. Top with the prawn ceviche mixture, then add diced avocados just before serving, along with a pinch of orange zest.
Notes
-
- It's easiest to get a clean cut when using a sharp knife on shrimp that are still mostly frozen.
- You may need to whisk the coconut milk well if it has solidified in the can!
-
- You can add additional orange juice if you want your ceviche sweeter.
-
- The coconut flavor is very subtle, but if you don't like coconut you can use clamato juice or a combination of orange and lime juice.
-
- If you prefer to use cooked shrimp, rather than raw shrimp, you can!
- Store in the fridge for up to an hour before eating. I don't recommend storing leftovers as they won't stay fresh for long!
