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!
