Avocado shrimp ceviche is a vibrant and flavorful dish that combines the freshness of avocado and plump shrimp in a tangy, citrusy marinade. This classic Latin American dish is a perfect appetizer or light lunch, and it's easy to prepare with a few simple ingredients. The key to a great ceviche is using the freshest seafood possible, and shrimp is a great choice because it cooks quickly and has a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.

SHRIMP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO
My son-in-law makes this wonderful ceviche for us every Christmas and New Years, and for the 4th of July too! Everyone loves it! Serve the ceviche well-chilled in small plastic cups or chilled cocktail glasses (I suggest placing the bowl of ceviche within a larger bowl full of ice to keep it icy cold), along with tostadas chips or tortilla scoops and some chili sauce on the side. Very delicious and refreshing! Note: amounts are approximate-- feel free to adjust measurements to suit your own tastes. Cook time is chill time.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the chunks of shrimp (and crab if using) and the juice of one lemon; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside and chill (in the refrigerator or on ice) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the ceviche by combining all the ingredients (add the avocados last, just before serving) in a large bowl with ice water, stirring well to combine. Drain well; fold in the shrimp, and season to taste with garlic powder and lemon pepper.
- Keep well chilled (preferably on ice) until serving time.
- Serve with tortilla chips and optional chili sauce.
- Ceviche must be served well-chilled, and is best served on the same day it is made.

This is a recipe I created by combining all the ingredients I liked in other Ceviche recipes. Turn out to be a hit! Everyone loves it. I make this ahead of time and take it out on our boat. Served in plastic cups. Remember to keep chilled. This can be served as elegant or casual as you like. I've served it in anything from plastic cups to Martini glasses or even in brandy glasses for a more special presentation. Cook time does not include marinating the shrimp.

Steps:
- Clean and devein the shrimp, cut into 1-inch pieces, and transfer to a bowl. Add the lime, lemon, and orange juice, stir to combine, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 8. (I let my sit overnight). This technique cooks the shrimp.
- Chop all the vegetables into small cubes.
- Add canned tomatoes with the juice, onion, cilantro, bell peppers and serrano pepper into the shrimp mixture (with the citrus) and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- When ready to serve, gently stir in diced cucumber. Divide the ceviche among 8 chilled martini glasses, top with avocado and tuck 2 to 3 tortilla chips around the sides of each. This recipe actually makes alot! I've served close to 15 people and they all had seconds.
- You can leave the avocado out and serve it individually for those who don't want avocado -- either way, it's delicious.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO CREMA
Steps:
- Place first five ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl (metal will react with the acidity of the lime). Refrigerate at least 16 hours, turning shrimp and scallops once or twice during that time to evenly distribute marinade. Before serving, prepare the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly with marinated seafood and serve with a squeeze of avocado crema (see recipe below). *To seed a tomato, cut it in half crosswise, then gently squeeze each half, twisting your hand in a clockwise/ counterclockwise motion. Remove avocadoes from their skins, discarding pits. Place avocadoes into a blender. Add the lemon/lime juice and sea salt. Whir mixture until puréed, stopping the blender if necessary to rearrange contents for a complete purée. Place ceviche in individual chilled wine goblets or glass bowls. Squeeze a dollop of crema over each serving using a pastry bag, or fill a plastic bag with avocado crema, snip a corner tip of the bag, and use as you would a pastry bag.

We have our own hot sauce recipe, but you can use whatever hot sauce you like, or leave it out and let people add their own when serving. Serve in glass tumblers and top with avocado pieces. Set out extra Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, lime wedges and hot sauce for people to individualize their dish. Serve with saltine crackers.
AVOCADO SHRIMP CEVICHE-ESTILLO SARITA
A tried and true ceviche recipe to be enjoyed for a Sunday brunch in our cafe. It is believed by most Latinos that the best time to eat ceviche is on a sunny day. Rainy days cause stomach cramps and nightmares. Of course most Latinos (especially my wife) can make a good ceviche blindfolded on any day rain or shine, in my opinion. Excellent for an appetizer in smaller portions or as a meal itself. Personally I enjoy this with an ice cold beer on the side.

- Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped jalapeño or serrano pepper to your ceviche.
