A refreshing Mexican-inspired ceviche featuring the delicate sweetness of Jersey Royal potatoes, succulent shrimp, creamy avocado, and a zesty lime dressing. Perfect for a light and flavorful lunch.
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.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the shrimp, avocado, onion, and peppers.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, dice them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, cooked shrimp, diced avocado, red onion, jalapeño, serrano pepper, and cilantro.
Pour the lime juice and olive oil over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to combine.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The ceviche can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
Serve chilled. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or tostadas, if desired.
