The Method

1
Place the Jersey Royal potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
2
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the shrimp, avocado, onion, and peppers.
3
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, dice them into bite-sized pieces.
4
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, cooked shrimp, diced avocado, red onion, jalapeño, serrano pepper, and cilantro.
5
Pour the lime juice and olive oil over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.
6
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The ceviche can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
7
Serve chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or tostadas, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For a milder flavor, use only jalapeño or omit the chili peppers altogether. You can also use a milder chili pepper

Adjust the amount of lime juice and chili peppers to your preference.

Add a splash of orange juice for a sweeter flavor.

If you don't have Jersey Royal potatoes, you can substitute with Yukon Gold or new potatoes.

Do not let the ceviche sit for too long with the avocado or it will turn brown. If preparing in advance, add the avocado right before serving.

For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in a little lime juice and chili flakes for 30 minutes before adding them to the ceviche.
