Shrimp Ceviche with Passion Fruit
Shrimp ceviche with passion fruit is a must try. It’s bright and fresh; full of zesty lime juice, exotic slightly tart passion fruit with just the right heat added from the jalapeno. We mixed in a touch of agave nectar to balance out the tart acidity.

- 12 ounces raw frozen shrimp – defrosted
- 1 fresh passion fruit pulp
- ⅓ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons pure passion fruit pure

Chop red onion, cilantro and jalapeno. Set aside
Squeeze juice out of one large or two small limes and save the leftovers for the shrimp boil.
Create the shrimp boil by adding water into a large pot along with left over lime, salt, red crushed pepper and crushed black peppercorns. Bring to a boil.
Add shrimp and cook for 2-4 minutes or until they become firm and opaque white and bright orange in color. Remove from boil and let cool completely. To expedite the cooling process, rinse with cold water.
Remove tails and any shells from the shrimp.
Roughly chop shrimp into bite sized pieces.
Place chopped shrimp into a large mixing bowl and add all the ingredients. Mix well and transfer into a serving dish.
Cover the shrimp ceviche mixture and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to marry. Mix well before serving.
