Mexican Imitation Crab (Surimi) Ceviche

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Imitation crab (surimi) sticks
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1/2 cup Tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup Cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon Jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped(optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Thinly slice or chop the imitation crab sticks into bite‑size pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add the diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and minced jalapeño to the bowl.

3. 3

   Pour the lime juice over the mixture, sprinkle with salt and optional black pepper, then gently toss to coat evenly.

4. 4

   Let the ceviche sit at room temperature for 5‑7 minutes so the lime juice slightly “cooks” the seafood and flavors meld.

5. 5

   Stir in chopped cilantro (if using) just before serving and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as desired.
