What is ceviche?
Shrimp ceviche is an incredibly easy and popular South American dish to make, usually made with fish or raw seafood, mixed with lemon, lime, onion, and chili pepper. This time we added mango, coconut milk, and a few other ingredients.
How to make shrimp ceviche
Toss the shrimp in vinegar and marinate.
Then you combine lime juice, coconut milk, mango, avocado, onion, shrimp, bell pepper, and cilantro, adding a little salt and pepper.
Ready to serve, top with cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and fresh lime.
Having a meal plan
I also wanted to ask if you are a meal planner? I’m hit and miss with meal planning, but I feel more organized when I “have a plan.”
I’ll walk you through what I do about every 10 days before I do my “big” shopping.
We start each week by planning our meals and making a grocery list. Do we stick to them religiously? No. But honestly, when you don’t plan, the whole family feels the stress of dinnertime! For sure we stray from the menu, but when shopping, we definitely have a few menus in mind.

I love being organized with food, because it allows our family to be spontaneous with entertaining! Who doesn’t love a last-minute invite … I’m cooking enchiladas and fresh Shrimp Ceviche Recipe With Mango and Avocado tonight. Want to come and enjoy it with us, and sip on Sangria?
What helps with meal planning for our family is to write it out. Sometimes I’ll ask the families for a list of their favorite meals.
There are also apps and websites that can help with meal planning.
Ask yourself these questions when planning your weekly menu:
- How many meals will you be cooking in the next week?
- From how many of the meals will have you have leftovers for a separate meal?
- Do you plan to entertain? What portion of the meal will you make? What can you delegate to your guests?
- Do you plan to take a meal to anyone in need? (Very important to teach the family this hospitality tip – think of others!)
- Do I need a quick app to help me plan my menu this week?
