Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb 1 kg medium size prawns, cooked or raw
  • 1 cup Tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 3/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 onion thinly sliced and diced
  • 1 Jalapeno, seeded and thinly diced
  • 1 cup Cucumber, diced (I like to use Persian cucumbers)
  • 3/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 avocado, peeled, diced
  • salt, to season

Method
 

  1. Marinate the finely diced onion briefly in white vinegar with a pinch of salt (for around 10 minutes, while you prepare the other ingredients)
  2. Marinate the prawns in the lime juice, season with a generous pinch of salt. Add all the other ingredients except for the avocado and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
  3. Cut and dice the avocado and add the avocado and cilantro to the ceviche just before serving
