Instructions:

Prepare the Shrimp
Begin by preparing the shrimp: peel off the heads and shells, then slice open the backs to remove the intestines. Carefully slice each shrimp lengthwise into two halves, ensuring they remain tender and beautiful. Set them aside for the moment. -
Prepare the Mango
Peel the mango, cutting away the pit. Slice the larger pieces of mango in half, ensuring they are bite-sized and ready to pair with the shrimp. Set these slices aside, keeping them fresh. -
Make the Lime-Ginger Marinade
In a narrow and deep container, pour in the lime juice. Add the fresh ginger, cutting it into small pieces. Then, pour in the extra virgin olive oil. Use an immersion blender to blend this mixture into a smooth, aromatic marinade. -
Add Flavor
Next, finely chop the green chili and add it to the container. Toss in the cilantro and season lightly with sea salt to enhance the flavors. Gently stir to incorporate all the ingredients, ensuring the blend is well-mixed. -
Assemble the Ceviche
In a serving dish, alternate layers of shrimp and mango slices. Pour the freshly prepared lime-ginger marinade over the top, allowing it to soak into the shrimp and mango, creating a perfect balance of tart and sweetness. -
Marinate
Cover the dish with plastic wrap, letting the ceviche marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully. -
Final Touches
After marination, remove the shrimp and mango from the marinade, making sure to shake off any excess liquid. Arrange the ceviche on a serving platter, garnished with fresh iceberg lettuce and a sprinkle of lime zest for that extra burst of flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy
Your fresh and vibrant shrimp ceviche is now ready to be served! It’s the perfect dish for an appetizer or light meal, filled with zesty lime, fragrant cilantro, and the sweetness of mango and raspberries. Enjoy this refreshing treat with a side of crispy bread or crunchy tortilla chips for a delightful experience.
