Ingredient Suggestions for Shrimp Ceviche

A standard ceviche is a South American dish marinating uncooked seafood in an acidic marinade like citrus juice or vinegar, which “cooks” the uncooked fish, shrimp, or shellfish (as an alternative of warmth).

Shrimp: Use chopped shrimp or bay shrimp which can be pre-cooked and able to use. If utilizing uncooked shrimp, guarantee it’s very recent. Whereas uncooked seafood is conventional in ceviche, I choose to make use of cooked shrimp on this recipe, as not everybody has entry to recent shrimp. Cooked shrimp provides a distinct texture, and cooking the shrimp can kill dangerous micro organism.

The FDA recommends that kids, the aged, the immune-compromised, and pregnant girls don’t eat undercooked seafood (together with ceviche).

Citrus: Use recent lemon, lime, and oranges for the very best taste. You may squeeze the juice with a citrus juicer or reduce it in half and squeeze it by hand. The orange juice is required to maintain the combination from being too tart, whereas lime juice brightens the flavors.

For just a little additional kick, substitute serrano chile for the jalapeno.
