If you watch Top Chef, or Hell's Kitchen, you often hear the term ceviche ... WTF?! Even this blog doesn't know what that word is and tries to correct it to crevices or cervical ... ???? Again I had a 'family dinner' to go to and always like to try new things so I found a recipe for an easy shrimp ceviche. Ceviche is a technique of 'cooking' a raw food in a citrus base for several hours, cooking is in quotes because you heat the raw food, it's cold. Some people may be turned off from the raw/cooked shrimp and not try but they truly are missing out on this great appetizer served with tortilla chips. Next time I think I'm going to add some jalapenos for a little heat.
1 pound of raw shrimp (medium size)
1 red onion, chopped
2 avocado, cubed
4 lemons
4 limes
3 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper
Chunk the shrimp into small pieces (about 3-4 chunks per shrimp) and place in large bowl. Juice the lemons and limes over the shrimp (try to make sure most of the shrimp are covered by the juice) and place bowl in fridge for 4 hours stirring the shrimp every hour or so. Add the onion, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro and s&p and stir all to mix up. Place in fridge for another half hour or so to let flavors mix. Place in serving dish and serve with tortilla chips.
