Ingredients
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the shrimp and poach for 1 minute until just pink; immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
Pat the shrimp dry and cut into bite‑size pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp lime juice, coconut milk, coconut aminos, olive oil, lime zest, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 10‑12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the shrimp marinates, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender.
Add 1 tsp lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil to the blender; blend until ultra‑smooth and creamy.
To serve, spoon the chilled ceviche into small glasses or bowls, top each with a generous dollop of avocado mousse, and garnish with lime wheels and cilantro sprigs.
