Sharing a fast, straightforward and tremendous scrumptious ceviche recipe the place you really prepare dinner the shrimp however protect the proper texture. This recipe is right for an spring or summer time BBQs or dinner events!
Hello pals! How are you? I hope your week is off to a tremendous begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap submit – must be up Wednesday! – however for as we speak, I needed to share a DELICIOUS wholesome appetizer recipe: ceviche!!
Ceviche is a basic and particularly good through the summer time. It wasn’t one thing I make usually at house, however my buddy Kathryn introduced it over final summer time and all of us devoured it. It was recent, superbly flavored, and so so scrumptious. Once we had household dinner final night time, I knew it could make an ideal appetizer.
Right here’s the deal, although: “cooking” the shrimp in lime juice freaks me out. I do know it’s the frequent methodology for making ceviche, however I do know an excessive amount of about parasites lol.
Sure, the acid from the limes can flip the colour of the shrimp opaque in order that they seem like cooked. It kills just a little little bit of the micro organism, however not all of it. (You’ll be able to obtain my free parasite cleaning information right here!) I don’t eat a ton of uncooked fish anymore, and whereas I positively needed ceviche, I needed HEAT to kill the micro organism so I may stuff my face and never fear about any creepy crawlers.
So I did what any lady would do: referred to as my brother the chef and requested him if I may saute the shrimp first.
He legit laughed at me and knowledgeable me that it could be a rubbery catastrophe.
“Blanch it. Only for like a minute after which put it in an ice bathtub.”
“Okay, so simply put it in boiling water for a minute?”
“Sure however add stuff to it so it really tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, a lot of salt, taste it up.”
In order that’s what I did! It turned out AMAZING and I’m pumped to share the recipe with you!!
One of the best ceviche recipe (with cooked shrimp!)

Garlic powder, salt, pepper, sriracha, and Worcestershire sauce (the key ingredient!!!)
Value mentioning right here that I chopped virtually the whole lot with this contraption and likewise lower the heck out of two of my fingers. It says, “don’t contact the blades” and this implies even when you’re washing it, even when they don’t *appear* sharp. Don’t do it.
(it solely didn’t work on the tomatoes)

Drizzle sriracha on prime and add about 1 teaspoon of Worchestershire sauce. Combine. Style it on a tortilla chip (<— that is vital!) and modify seasonings as essential.
