Here’s a Weight Watchers-friendly Shrimp Ceviche recipe that’s light, refreshing, and perfect for a healthy snack or appetizer!
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped (small pieces)
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-6 limes)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional, for spice)
- 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced (optional for topping, adds points)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with lime and lemon juice. Stir to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare Vegetables: While the shrimp marinates, dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cucumber, and cilantro.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the vegetables to the shrimp mixture. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for another 10–15 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- Serve: Serve chilled with optional avocado on top, and enjoy with tortilla chips, over lettuce as a salad, or on its own.
WW Points
- The base recipe (without avocado or chips) is typically 0–2 WW points per serving, depending on the shrimp size and portion.
- Add points for avocado or tortilla chips if included.
Tips
- For a more citrusy punch, add a splash of orange juice.
- Use pre-cooked shrimp for convenience or fresh raw shrimp, ensuring they are fully “cooked” in the citrus juice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day (ceviche is best eaten fresh).
