Shrimp Ceviche

For my Mexican themed Housewarming party, I decided to try making homemade shrimp ceviche. I have only recently started liking ceviche myself, and only with shrimp. So, I decided to document the recipe! I followed this recipe, but made some of my own modifications. 

First, the ingredients you will need:
  • 2 serrano chiles
  • 2 limes 
  • cucumber 
  • raw peeled and deveined shrimp
  • red onion
  • cilantro
  • avocado 
First, add salt to a pot of water and bring to a boil. 


Once the water is boiling, add the raw peeled shrimp, and turn off heat immediately. 



Remove the shrimp after about 3 minutes, and allow the shrimp to cool.
While the shrimp is cooling, begin chopping the other ingredients. 



Cut the shrimp into small 1/2 inch pieces. Put the shrimp in a bowl, and add the juice of 2 limes. Mix in the chopped cucumber, serrano chiles, and red onion. The recipe calls for juice of a fresh orange, however I didn't have that, so I added a splash of grapefruit juice!


Put the marinating shrimp in the fridge for at least 1-4 hours. 
Afterwards, add the avocado and cilantro to the mixture, and continue refrigerating until ready to serve.


Serve and enjoy!
