Super Easy Ceviche!

Have you ever gotten to the point where you were just tired of food? Sometimes it is easy to just make the same few meals over and over until you are just bored with everything. Recently I was feeling this way. It was really warm outside and I didn’t want to make anything hot for dinner. While I was thinking, I remembered a super delicious meal that my Suegra (Spanish for mother-in-law) makes! So I did my best to remember all of the ingredients and I went to the store to get everything. I was so stoked to surprise my husband with something that I’d never made before!

Before I start, I will say that this recipe was for 2 to 3 people. We ate all of it in one sitting! We kind of ate too much though! I’m just saying this so that if you want to feed a bigger family, you should double my recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 or 2 tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 3 radishes
• Cilantro (as much as you like)
• 1/4 of an onion
• 1 lb of shrimp
• 2 limes
• 2 avocados
• Mayonnaise
• Tostadas
• Valentina Sauce (optional)

How to Prepare:

First you grab a large bowl and a cutting board. Dice The cilantro, cucumber (take out the middle part), tomatoes, radishes, and onion. Okay I have to admit, this part takes a while, but I put on music when I was diving my veggies, and I did not mind. Also, you could recruit a helper if you have one handy to cut down the time! Put all of that in a bowl and set aside.

Then boil your shrimp with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I bought a bag of fully cooked shrimp, but I still boiled it to make sure it was the way I wanted it. Then let your shrimp cool. After the shrimp have finished cooling, dice them up as well.

Then you are ready the add the shrimp to your vegetables! Now squeeze your limes into the bowl! Then take a spatula or spoon and mix everything together evenly!

How to Plate:

Now that you have your Ceviche done, all you have to do is plate it! We personally like to eat our Ceviche with mayo and tostadas! Then this is where the avocados come in! I like to dice up my avocados and put them on top of the tostadas! My husband adds Valentina hot sauce also!

I hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as we did! My husband was so excited to see this waiting for him on the dinner table after work! I’m sure your family will be just as excited as he was to dig into this delicious dish! If you are not from a Spanish background, it could also be a good experience to try a food from another culture! ¡Disfruta! Enjoy!
