CILANTRO SEAFOOD CEVICHE

Steps:
- Cut shrimp and squid into small bite size pieces.
- Place meat in a large bowl and pour in the lime juice (meat should be completely covered with the lime juice).
- Cover and let soak in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the meat is tender and white (The whiteness of the meat will tell you that it has cooked in the acid).
- Add cilantro and tomatoes and mix well.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in a sealed container and chill.
- Serve cold alone immediately or let soak for more flavor.
- The recipe keeps refrigerated in sealed container for 3-4 days.
- Note: If you are squeamish about eating seafood cooked in mere acid (like my mom is), you may use half-cooked, blanched seafood in this recipe instead of uncooked seafood (The result will not be as tender a meat, but I have tried both, and the results are comparable).
Tips:
- Choose the freshest seafood possible. The quality of your ceviche will depend on the quality of your seafood. Look for fish and shrimp that are firm and have a vibrant color.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the seafood into small pieces. This will help the ceviche to cook evenly.
- Marinate the seafood in a citrus-based marinade for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the seafood and give it a bright, tangy flavor.
- Add a variety of vegetables to your ceviche. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish. Some good options include red onion, cucumber, avocado, and tomato.
- Season the ceviche to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cumin, to taste.
- Serve the ceviche immediately or chill it for later. Ceviche is a refreshing dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course.
Conclusion:
Ceviche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer party or a light lunch. With its bright, tangy flavor and refreshing texture, ceviche is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy seafood, give ceviche a try!
