Recipe notes

Storage

Using cooked shrimp, refrigerate leftovers immediately in a non-reactive airtight container and consume within 2 days. Do not freeze. The avocado and vegetables will soften during storage.

Additional tips

  • Cooked shrimp is recommended because lime juice does not eliminate every food-safety risk associated with raw seafood. Keep the ceviche refrigerated and do not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
