BEST EVER SHRIMP CEVICHE RECIPE



Best Ever Shrimp Ceviche Recipe image

Best ever Shrimp Ceviche with raw or cooked shrimp that is cool, zesty and refreshing. Dip into with tortilla chips, spread on a tostada or add to tacos.

Provided by Olena Osipov

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb raw or cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined & tails off)
3/4 cup fresh lime juice (6 large limes)
1 large tomato (diced)
1 large avocado (diced)
1/2 cup red onion (minced)
1/2 cup cilantro (minced)
1 jalapeno (seeded & diced)
Salt and pepper (to taste (I added about 1/2 tsp salt))

Steps:

  • If using frozen shrimp, add it to a medium bowl and cover with warm tap water. Let thaw for 10 minutes.
  • In the meanwhile, squeeze juice from limes and add to a large bowl. Please do not use bottled juice.
  • Drain shrimp and give it a gentle squeeze. Dice it and add to the bowl with lime juice.
  • Marinate: Cooked shrimp for 15 minutes; raw shrimp for 1.5 hours or until opaque and pink. Acid will "cook" the shrimp.
  • While shrimp is marinating, dice tomato, avocado, red onion, cilantro and jalapeno and add to another bowl. Refrigerate if making ceviche with raw shrimp. I also recommend to dice avocado right before combining shrimp with veggies to avoid brown avocado.
  • Add vegetables to the bowl with shrimp, stir and add salt and pepper to taste. Remember tortilla chips are salty. So I would salt after the taste test with a chip.
  • Serve cold with chips, on a tostada and even in tacos.

SHRIMP CEVICHE



Shrimp Ceviche image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound high-quality medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail removed, cut into thin pieces
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cup peeled, seeded and finely chopped cucumber
1 cup seeded and finely chopped tomato
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 serrano chile pepper, deveined, seeded and minced
Kosher salt, for seasoning
Saltine crackers
Bottled hot sauce
Lime wedges, optional

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup lime juice and let stand for 15 minutes so the shrimp can "cook" in the lime juice (any less and it won't cook, any more and it toughens).
  • Meanwhile, in a separate large mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup lime juice, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, red onions and serrano chile to incorporate evenly. Transfer the mixed vegetables into the shrimp bowl and mix well to incorporate. Season the ceviche with some salt. Serve with saltine crackers, bottled hot sauce and lime wedges if desired.

MEXICAN CEVICHE



Mexican Ceviche image

This dish is a regular served on the beaches of Mexico. Serve it as a seafood appetizer or as a side salad dish. You can alter it to suit your own taste. Make it as spicy or as mild as you wish. My friends all love it. I often use shrimp & fish or shrimp & scallops - when I do this I do not marinate the shrimp as the shrimp tend to get tough. I steam the shrimp and add them a few hours before serving as I mix all the ingredients together. In Mexico when they make this they often add sea water (not recommened). If you are using frozen fish, choose a firm-fleshed fish and make sure it is fully thawed with as much moisture as possible removed.

Categories     Halibut

Time 8h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb sea bass fillets (or use a mixture of fish and shrimp) or 1 lb red snapper fillet (or use a mixture of fish and shrimp)
5 -6 limes (Enough Juice to cover fish)
1 cup diced fresh tomato
1 green pepper, sweet, chopped
4 tablespoons chopped parsley or 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (or more to suit your taste)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 dash Tabasco sauce
lettuce leaf (to line serving bowls)
avocado (optional)
black olives, sliced (for garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Dice the fish (approximately 1/2-inch dice if using shrimp use cleaned shrimp).
  • Marinate fish in the lime juice in the fridge overnight (this step cooks the fish).
  • Stir often.
  • Pour off most of the lime juice (just leave it moist).
  • Add remaining ingredients except lettuce, avocado and olive. Do this preferably a few hours before serving & refrigerate.
  • Toss well and arrange in individual serving bowls that are lined with the lettuce leaves.
  • If you wish garnish with sliced avocado and sliced black olives.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture, a slightly sweet smell, and no signs of discoloration.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from becoming mushy.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp should be cooked until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of citrus juices. Lemon, lime, and orange juices are all good choices for ceviche. You can also use a combination of juices.
  • Add some chopped onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. These ingredients will add flavor and texture to the ceviche.
  • Serve the ceviche immediately. Ceviche is best served within a few hours of being made.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its bright flavors and healthy ingredients, ceviche is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
