Pecan Free Mango Shrimp Ceviche
Bright, tropical, and loaded with fresh flavor, this mango shrimp ceviche is the kind of dish that makes any table feel like a celebration. Juicy mango, crisp English cucumber, and tender shrimp come together in a zesty lime dressing spiked with fresh ginger and a whisper of turmeric — it's vibrant in both color and taste. A touch of jalapeño and fresh cilantro keep things lively, while optional avocado adds a creamy finish that rounds everything out beautifully. The shrimp are gently poached and chilled before being tossed with the dressing, so you get perfectly cooked, bite-sized pieces in every spoonful rather than the rubbery texture that can come from over-marinating raw seafood in acid alone. Everything here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind — no hidden nut oils, no garnishes to second-guess, just clean, whole ingredients you can feel good about. It's an impressive dish that comes together with minimal effort and tastes like something you'd order at a beachside restaurant.

Instructions
- 1
Fill a medium saucepan with water, add 1/2 tsp salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, until they are pink, opaque, and curl into a loose C-shape — do not let them curl tightly into an O, which signals overcooking. The shrimp should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Drain the shrimp in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Fill the bowl with cold water and a handful of ice to stop the cooking, then drain again after 2 minutes. Pat the shrimp dry and cut each one into 2–3 bite-sized pieces.
