shrimp & avocado ceviche

So ceviche. I've heard a lot about. Never tried it...until now. It's good! It's also more of an appetizer, which Dan and I learned the hard way. Still, yummy. Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 pound shrimp - peeled, deveined and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced

Place the shrimp and lime juice into a large bowl, and stir to coat. Let stand for about 5 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque (they seriously change color). The lime juice will "cook" them. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro until coated with lime juice as well, then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Remove from the refrigerator, and mix in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, salt and pepper.

That's it. So friggin' simple. Really delicious though. Went great with Saltines. Also note: this probably made enough for 4-8 people.

Bon chappétit!
