Looking for a light and refreshing dish that’s low-carb, high-protein and keto-friendly? This Keto Shrimp & Avocado Ceviche Salad is just what you need! It’s perfect as a quick appetizer or a satisfying lunch.
You can enjoy it on its own, on top of some crispy lettuce, or paired with keto tortilla chips for a crunchy snack. Best of all, it’s packed with fresh ingredients and comes together in just a few minutes.
Recipe Tips & Swaps
- Choosing Shrimp: For convenience, you can use pre-cooked shrimp, but if you prefer, fresh shrimp works great too. Just cook them until they turn pink, then chop and cool before adding to the salad.
- Adjust the Spice: If you’re not a fan of heat, reduce the amount of jalapeño or omit it altogether. For extra kick, leave the seeds in or try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Citrus Balance: This recipe uses both lime and lemon juice for a tangy balance. If you prefer one over the other, feel free to adjust the ratio to your taste.
- Avocado Freshness: To keep the avocado from browning, toss it in the lime and lemon juice as soon as you dice it. This will help it stay fresh and green for longer.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have cucumber, bell peppers make a crunchy alternative. You can also swap cilantro with parsley if you’re not a fan of the cilantro flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This ceviche is versatile! Serve it with keto tortilla chips for a snack, over a bed of lettuce for a salad, or even in low-carb taco shells for a fun twist.
Make Ahead & Storage
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can make this ceviche a few hours ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Be aware that the avocado might soften and slightly brown over time.
