Ceviche is a mexican dish very common of the coast. You can make it with any kind of fish or seafood. The fish/seafood is cooked in lime juice, but I prepare it with fully cooked shrimp. It is very refreshing as it is served cold. Perfect for a hot summer day! I love it, it is so light and flavorful. Very easy to make, just let it time to marinade and the flavors combine.
It makes a great appetizer or main dish. Serve it with come crackers or corn tostadas; over avocado, the creaminess of the avocado pairs excellent with the bold flavors.
SHRIMP CEVICHE
Ingredients
16 Cooked Large shelled shrimp
1 Medium tomato
1 Jalapeño Pepper
2 Limes (juice)
1/4 Onion
Ice cubes
Salt and pepper
Avocado to serve (optional)
Corn crackers to serve (optional)
Directions
- Chop onion put it in a small bowl and cover with ice cubes and cold water. This will take away the sharp flavor
- While the onion is submerged in the cold water:
- Chop tomato
- Chop jalapeño, if you don’t like it hot, cut out the veins and seeds
- Chop shrimp
- Combine tomato, jalapeño and shrimp
- Add lime juice
- Drain the onion and add it the rest of the ingredients
- Season with salt and pepper
- Stir, cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour
- Enjoy over avocado with corn crackers

My husband made ceviche recently. While very good, the onion became a dominant flavor. I never knew to soak them in ice water. Great tip! Love a little mango in a shrimp ceviche as well.
