💰Cheaper: surimi

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while surimi is a cost-effective seafood alternative.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: frozen avocado

Mashed peas maintain creaminess, while frozen avocado is often less expensive.

Peel the shrimp and remove the tails.

Boil water in a pot.

Once the water is boiling, turn it off and pour in the shrimp for a few seconds to blanch them.

Drain the water and rinse the shrimp with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Place the shrimp in a glass container.

Squeeze juice from 8 or 9 lemons over the shrimp to finish cooking them.

In a nice bowl, combine the shrimp with diced tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a little bit of English sauce for flavor.

Divide the ceviche into two bowls if desired; add chopped jalapeño to one for a spicy version.

Cut tortillas into quarters and fry them in hot oil until crispy.

Cut the avocado and serve it alongside the ceviche and tortilla chips.
