Anti Inflammatory Shrimp and Avocado Ceviche
Bright citrus, creamy avocado, and tender shrimp come together in a bowl that feels like a celebration — light, fresh, and packed with flavor from the very first bite. The triple-citrus cure using lime, lemon, and orange juice does all the heavy lifting here, firming up the shrimp beautifully without any heat required. Every single ingredient in this dish pulls double duty: the jalapeño and cilantro add bold, herbaceous punch while also delivering compounds that support a low-inflammation lifestyle, and the avocado brings those rich, satisfying healthy fats that make this feel indulgent without any of the guilt. Soaking the red onion in cold water before adding it is a small step that makes a big difference, softening the sharpness so it blends seamlessly with the other flavors rather than overpowering them. Cherry tomatoes add a pop of color and natural sweetness, rounding out a dish that genuinely looks as good as it tastes. This is the kind of recipe that works equally well as a starter at a dinner party or a quick weeknight meal scooped up with tortilla chips straight from the bowl.

Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp pieces with the lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Stir to coat, then press the shrimp down so they are mostly submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 25–30 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque throughout and firm to the touch with no translucent gray areas remaining — the acid will have fully cured them.

While the shrimp cure, place the diced red onion in a small bowl of cold water and let it soak for 10 minutes, then drain. This removes some of the sharp bite.
