Ceviche requires no cooking but when you're done, you'll find your shrimp have magically cooked! It's so light and fresh, it's easy to eat a bunch of it without noticing. Also, make it spicier if that's what you like. Ingredients:
3lbs raw shrimp, 31-50ct, shelled and cut into 3rds |
1 tall can baby clams, drained |
3 bottles lime juice |
1 cucumber skinned and cut into 1/2 pieces |
2 roma tomatos cut into 1/2 pieces |
1 bunch green onions, bottoms removed, 3 white part diced thinly |
1 bunch cilantro, leaves coarsely chopped, toss the stems in the trash |
2 serano chiles, very finely chopped (you may add more if you like) |
2 avocados (don't cut them yet) |
at least a palm-full of table salt |
dash of black pepper |
splash of soy sauce |
5-6 limes |
bag of tostadas (24-ct) |
Directions:
1. After you have shelled, rinsed and cut your shrimp, throw them into a large, shallow casserole dish and squeeze 2 bottles of lime juice on them. The juice is what cooks the shrimp. You will see them change color almost immediately.
2. Add your clams, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, chiles, palm-full of salt (cup your hand and pour salt in the little cup of your palm) and dash of black pepper.
3. With a wooden spatula, fold everything so it is evenly incorporated.
4. You should have 1 more bottle of lime juice-you need to add it until the juice is about level with the top of the ceviche so that the shrimp are all covered in lime juice.
5. Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
6. The shrimp should be pink when the ceviche is ready to eat.
7. When you're ready to serve it, add a splash of soy sauce to the ceviche.
8. Cut avocados into 1/2 pieces.
9. Add to ceviche and fold everything again.
10. Taste. If it's too bland (most likely will be), add more salt.
11. Bring the casserole to the table with 2 big spoons and let everyone grab a tostada and some ceviche and chow down.
12. Bring salt shaker to table. Some people like lots of salt.
13. Offer lime wedges for people who wish to add fresh-squeezed juice to their ceviche.
