Shrimp Ceviche

Shrimp Ceviche

(6 servings)

 

Ingredients:

1½ lb.  Fresh Raw Shrimp, peeled & deveined (see note)

8 large Fresh Limes (extra for lime wedges)

1 small White Onion

1-2 medium Avocado, diced (see note)

3 medium Roma Tomatoes, seeded & diced

¼ cup Fresh Mexican Oregano (2 tsp. Dried)

1 tsp. Kosher Salt

½ tsp. Black Pepper

Crusty Bread (to serve with dish)

Directions:

Place shrimp in a non-metallic dish.  Squeeze 7 of the limes and pour the juice over the shrimp.  Be sure to cover the shrimp completely.  Cover with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate a minimum of 8 hours or overnight.  Drain the shrimp in a colander to remove excess juice and pat dry with paper towels.  Now place shrimp in a large bowl.  Add the sliced onion, diced avocado and diced tomato to the shrimp in the bowl.  Before tossing together, add the oregano, salt, pepper and the juice of 1 lime.  Toss and serve with crusty bread and lime wedges.

Note:               Use the freshest shrimp you can find.  Frozen will work but thaw on ice in the refrigerator only.  I would use shrimp between 20 and 30 count.  That is shrimp per pound.

Note:               Slice avocado in half and remove pit.  Using your knife, make slices in avocado from cut side not going through the skin.  Now slice across these slices to make ½ inch dice.  Use a spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin.
