Ceviche











To make
2lbs fresh Shrimp
1 small onion
3 Cucumbers
4-6 Roma tomatoes
1/2 bunch Cilantro
2-3 Lemons juiced
Salt, Pepper, and Garlic
Jalepeno (optional)
Skin and devein shrimp cut into small pieces or a size that you would like. Put a pot of water on to boil. when water has begun to boil put shrimp into water and cook 3-5 minutes or until pink, do not over cook they will shrink and be too tough. Once cooking is done quickly add to cold water to shock the shrimp and stop the cooking process.
Dice tomatoes, onion, and cucumbers. With cucumber peel and core them by taking a spoon putting the tip into where the seeds begin and pull the spoon down the length of the cucumber.
Put vegetables into a bowl add lemon juice and finely shredded cilantro. I cut up a portion of the stems because the flavor is much stronger. Drain shrimp and add to the bowl. next you will want to add salt and garlic powder/salt which ever you perfer.
For those who like spice add some diced up Jalepeno (seeds are the hottest part of the pepper).
Extras
I add avocados, ketchup, and Tapatio chile sauce. This is the way that I learned to make this and I just love it.
We eat with tostada shells
Enjoy
