Ingredients

Before we start, gather these ingredients to make this luscious ceviche:

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice
  • 1/4 cup vodka or tequila (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely diced (adjust for spice tolerance)
  • Semi-salted rim (optional, for serving)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Avocado slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to prepare your Bloody Maria or Bloody Mary Shrimp Ceviche:

  1. Start by marinating the shrimp. In a glass bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with lime juice. Ensure the shrimp are fully submerged in the juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30-45 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  2. Once the shrimp are ready, drain a bit of the excess lime juice—leave just enough to keep everything moist, but you don’t want it swimming in lime.
  3. Add the tomato juice, vodka or tequila (if using), diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño peppers to the shrimp. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix again, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.
  5. For an extra touch, prepare a semi-salted rim on your serving dishes if desired. Simply rub a lime wedge around the edge of the glass or bowl and dip it into a plate of coarse salt.
  6. Serve the ceviche chilled, garnishing with avocado slices if desired.

This Bloody Maria or Bloody Mary Shrimp Ceviche is not only visually stunning, but it also offers a tantalizing balance of flavors that will skyrocket your taste buds. Enjoy it with tortilla chips or simply on its own for a refreshing appetizer. Cheers to delightful culinary adventures!
