Ceviche has many forms, but nearly all involve citrus-marinated seafood. In traditional recipes, marinating the seafood in the citrus actually cooks it. You can use basically any type of fresh fish, but this is a take on my mother-in-law's famous Ecuadorian style ceviche de camoron.
Summer Ceviche

1 red onion, sliced into very thin rings
1 large tomato, cored and diced
1 medium avocado, diced
1 lb. cooked shrimp, tails removed
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (you can substitute parley for the cilantro if you prefer the taste)
1/4 cup lemon-lime seltzer (my mother-in-law uses Sprite instead)
juice from 1 medium orange
juice from 4 limes
juice from 1 lemon
1/2 tsp. cumin
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup of ketchup (or vegetable cocktail, like V8)
splash of Tabasco sauce (optional)
salt
-place thinly sliced onions in a bowl, toss with enough salt to cover the onions completely, and chill for a minimum of 20 minutes
-combine ketchup/V8, seltzer, orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and tabasco (if using)
-when onions have been chilled rinse off all the salt and add to the liquid mixture
-add the rest of the ingredients, stir lightly, and let chill (20 minutes will do, but the longer the better to let the flavors really blend)
-serve cold
Don't be intimidated by the odd mix of ingredients. All the strong flavors blend beautifully for a perfectly refreshing summer dish. It has been a hit everytime we've served it.
Sounds and looks amazing, Leah! What a refreshing summer meal. I'm going to put it on the menu for next week!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing, Leah! We are going to have to have a shot at this one soon--maybe once we're back up and running after James' arrival. Soon and very soon! :)
