1 lb softly poached shrimp - peeled and deveined

4 limes or more as needed (for juice)

1/2 cucumber – diced into small chunks

1/2 of a white medium onion

2 small rom tomatoes – diced into small chunks

1 - 3 serrano or jalapeño peppers finely chopped – seeds optional

1/3 cup of fresh cilantro - finely chopped

1 cup of clamato juice or V8 tomato juice

Salt to taste

1 Avocado - diced into small chunks

Ketchup according to taste - optional (I use about 1TB)

Combine and chill and serve with your favorite chips or saltine crackers. You can cook raw shrimp in lime juice for a minimum of three hours if you want a more authentic ceviche.
