Ingredients

  • 12 ounces (2 cans) lump crabmeat, drained
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • ½ cup chopped red onion, chopped
  • 1 plum tomato, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the crabmeat in a medium glass bowl. Squeeze in lime juice and let the crabmeat marinate for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the ingredients are coated with the lime juice.
  • Refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not use plastic bowls to make ceviche. Glass or ceramic bowls are best to use when working with citrus.
  • Since we are using canned crab meat, there’s no need to marinate it for too long.
  • Serve this ceviche with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or tostadas.
