Just in time for summer, this ceviche recipe is a can't miss first course packed with clean, fresh flavors.
We know authentic ceviche is made with raw shrimp that is cured in fresh citrus juice, but if you are pinched for time you can substitute two pouches of cooked Simply Shrimp for a "ceviche-style" dish that is ready in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
-
2 packs unseasoned Simply Shrimp
-
juice of 2 lemons
-
juice of 3-4 limes
-
1 serrano pepper, diced
-
1 avocado, diced
-
⅓ cup diced red onion
-
⅓ cup diced cucumber
-
handful chopped cilantro
-
½ tsp dried oregano
-
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
cook both packs of Simply Shrimp according to the package directions. Once rested, rough chop shrimp into bite sized pieces.
In a large non-metallic bowl, combine onion, cucumber, cilantro, oregano, salt and pepper. You can adjust the level of heat in the dish by keeping or discarding the seeds of your pepper, or by trying other varieties such as jalapeno or Anaheim.
Add the lemon and lime juice, which should be enough to completely cover the mixture
Add chopped shrimp to the mixture and let sit 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to combine
Top with diced avocado right before serving
Recipe Note
Serve alongside a basket of tortilla or plantain chips. Garnish with extra lime wedges and a margarita, if the occasion calls for it.
