Once the weather starts to warm up, it’s shrimp ceviche time!
With the warm days of summer upon us, a great way to cool off is with ceviche!
What is Shrimp Ceviche?
Eliezer Martinez
My father, who generally doesn’t really like shrimp that much, loved this ceviche.
(Gotta love it when they eat it up and ask for more!)
Why Pre-Cook the Shrimp?
Eliezer Martinez
Unless your seafood is extremely fresh, I recommend lightly pre-cooking it first.
Too long in the citrusy marinade and the shrimp get rubbery.
Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute to 2 minutes max, depending on size of shrimp.
Eliezer Martinez
(Over-cooking the shrimp will turn it rubbery.)
Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
Cut each piece of shrimp in half, or into inch-long pieces.
Eliezer Martinez
Place the shrimp in a glass or ceramic bowl.
Mix in the lime and lemon juice.
Cover and refrigerate for a half hour.
Eliezer Martinez
Mix in the chopped red onion and serrano chile.
Refrigerate an additional half hour.
Right before serving, add the cilantro, cucumber, and avocado.

Serve chilled with tortilla chips.
