Ingredients

⅓ cup vegetable oil

½ large large habanero pepper, seeded and minced

3 clove large garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Mexican oregano

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 whole Roma tomatoes, diced

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

⅓ cup red onion, diced

2 teaspoon jalapeño pepper, minced

1 clove large garlic clove, minced

1 large fresh lime, juiced

kosher salt, to taste

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

lime wedges, for serving

tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, minced habanero pepper, 3 minced garlic cloves, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a spiced marinade.
Pat the raw shrimp dry with paper towels. Brush the shrimp generously with the spiced oil marinade, coating both sides evenly.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Once hot, carefully place the marinated shrimp on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side without moving them, until they begin to turn pink.
Flip the shrimp and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes, until they are fully cooked and pink throughout. The internal temperature should reach 145°F. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Once cooled, cut the grilled shrimp into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced Roma tomatoes, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and 1 minced garlic clove to the bowl with the shrimp.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently toss all ingredients together to combine.
Let the ceviche rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side.

This is a smart fit for Charlotte: shrimp is a genuine local product from the coast, and the habanero-chili rub leverages ingredients stocked at every major chain without special trips. At roughly $3–3.50 per serving (shrimp is the cost driver), it lands in the weeknight-dinner range. The 60-minute time is honest—most of it is passive marinating after a quick grill and dice, though you need to manage the shrimp's texture so it doesn't toughen. It's a no-fuss crowd-pleaser that reheats modestly and works for families who eat the same thing or who customize heat level with fresh jalapeño on the side.
