This fresh and flavorful Keto Avocado Shrimp Crevice is a perfect low-carb dish, combining shrimp, creamy avocado, and zesty lime in a refreshing and healthy salad-style appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, defined, and chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or chili powder (optional for heat)
- Fresh lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Shrimp: If using cooked shrimp, chop it into bite-sized pieces. If using raw shrimp, you can blanch or boil them until fully cooked, then chop into pieces once cooled.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the chopped shrimp, avocado, diced red onion, cucumber, and bell pepper (if using).
- Season the Crevice: Add the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the avocado.
- Add Heat (Optional): If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle in chili flakes or chili powder and toss again.
- Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve the ceviche on a bed of lettuce leaves or on its own as a fresh and tangy appetizer.
