After Josh and I watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain No Reservations where Bourdain ate ceviche, we were determined we wanted it. The flavors, colors, freshness and light ingredients had us intrigued. We found a few recipes and have altered them over the past, to fit our taste. When my sister came in town early July, we had her and my mom over for the ceviche cooking class and it came out Awesome! My sister is making it herself tonight in celebration of Shark Week 2011, fun! I'm sharing our recipe, but like any, feel free to change up some of the ingredients or add more or less for your taste. Hope you love ceviche as much as we do.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs of raw shrimp, chopped, peeled & deveined
- 2 red onions diced finely
- 3 lemons/3 limes juiced(make sure it's enough juice to cover the first mixture)
- 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro(or to taste)
- 2 cucumbers peeled and finely chopped
- 4 (or to taste) serrano peppers - have fun, can replace with jalapeno, poblano, bell, or other.
- 2 avocado's diced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- salt- to taste
We drop our shrimp(whole) in boiling water for 30 seconds and to kill any bacteria on the surface. Take out promptly and chop. Add shrimp, lemon, lime, onion, peppers,garlic and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate for 30 min, shrimp will be slightly firm. Add cucumbers and avocado's, then let it sit for another 30 min. Add salt to taste and dip with tortilla chips(we rolled the ceviche inside romaine lettuce to stay on our diet:). It's one of our favorite dishes to make and eat. Happy Shark Week 2011!
