Summer Shrimp Ceviche

One bite of this and you will be immediately transported to a small cantina with an umbrella in your drink and a front row seat to the clear blue horizon of the baja in Mexico! Trust me if you can put summertime into one bite this fresh shrimp ceviche is it! Ceviche is basically a seafood salsa and the greatest thing about it is, there is no cooking involved. All you will need to do is chop, mix, and wait. You can make ceviche out of many different kinds of fresh fish most commonly it's made out of shrimp, scallops, swordfish, or halibut. What makes this salsa so unique and fresh is the fact that the fish will cook while it is submerged in the lime juice, due to the acid from the juice. If you want to bring something different and refreshing to your memorial day grill out look no further. This will quickly become your most requested appetizer for the summer!

Heres what you need to do:

Summer Shrimp Ceviche:                                       



1 lbs - fresh raw shrimp
1 - bunch cilantro
1 - jalapeno
1 - ripe mango
1 - roma tomato
1 - ripe avocado
1 - shallot
1 cup - fresh lime juice (about 9-10 limes)
1Tbs - sugar
1/2 Tbs - kosher salt








First peel and rinse your shrimp. Dice your shrimp into bite size pieces and place in a bowl. Next peel and dice your mango. Then dice up your shallot, tomato, and jalapeno and add to the bowl. Remember the heat is in the seeds of the jalapeno so the more seeds the more heat! Coarsely chop your cilantro you want about a 1/2cup. Juice your limes, it's important you use FRESH lime juice. Pour the juice over all your ingredients then add your sugar and salt. Make sure the shrimp is fully submerged in the juice add more if needed. Mix your ingredients cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours. Check on it after 2 hours and give it another stir. You will see your shrimp starting to cook. When its ready your shrimp will be bright white and pink. You do not want your shrimp to have a translucent color. If it does it is not fully cooked so give it some more time!
I always add my avocado right before service this will keep the color nice and bright green. Serve in a bowl along side some hint of lime tortilla chips!
