Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh grapefruit juice (from about 1-2 grapefruits)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Grapefruit segments for garnish (optional)
  • Tortilla chips or plantain chips for serving

Instructions

  1. In a non-reactive bowl, combine the shrimp and grapefruit juice. Ensure the shrimp is fully submerged.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, indicating it has ‘cooked’ in the citrus.
  3. Drain off about half of the grapefruit juice.
  4. Add the chopped red onion, cilantro, mint, and jalapeño (if using) to the bowl with the shrimp.
  5. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with grapefruit segments if desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips or plantain chips.

Notes

  • For a spicier ceviche, leave some seeds in the jalapeño.
  • You can substitute lime juice for half of the grapefruit juice for a different citrus profile.
  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
