Shrimp Ceviche

From: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2010
Traditional ceviche recipes consists of raw seafood tossed with an acidic marinade (think: citrus juice or vinegar) that “cooks” the fish. In this shrimp ceviche recipe, we cook the shrimp before marinating it in lemon, lime and orange juices, plus chiles for some heat. Avocado adds creaminess to help the dish come together. Serve this shrimp ceviche with tostones (fried plantain chips) or tortilla chips. Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.

Ready In
- Combine water and ¼ cup salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Add shrimp and immediately turn off the heat. Let the shrimp sit until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Chop the shrimp into ½-inch pieces and place in a medium nonreactive bowl (see Tip). Add lemon, lime and orange juice. Stir in cucumber, onion and chiles. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Stir tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, oil and ¼ teaspoon salt into the shrimp mixture. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired.
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2 and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- Kitchen Tip: A nonreactive bowl or pan—stainless-steel, enamel-coated or glass—is necessary when cooking with acidic foods, such as lemon, to prevent the food from reacting with the pan. Reactive pans, such as aluminum and cast-iron, can impart an off color and/or off flavor.

This is the best recipe!! We love it! Such a wonderful cool down treat on a hot Arizona day. We eat it in bowls....don't want to miss all the good, healthy juices. We have had it with shrimp, fish and last night tried it with fake lobster meat. SPECTACULAR!

Will make again! This is absolutely delicious! Next time I will add more of the chilis. Let me give you the best tip of your life, use a tostada spread on a thin layer of sour cream on it then distribute the cebiche on the tostada. It is so flavorful I love this I will make it again for sure??

Added chopped celery, a little chopped parsley and can add two cooked (firm) potatoes diced into little cubed squares.

This has been in my rotation for a while now. I get cravings for it. I serve it over brown rice to make it a complete meal. The rice really soaks up the flavour. I definitely recommend using the orange juice. I'm generally not a fan of orange but it cuts the lemon and lime juice well. I find it's even better the next day (though as previously mentioned if you're fussy about avocado texture maybe add it in when you're about to eat it. Personally I don't find it gets that mushy so I just toss it in at the beginning.)

I loved it but only had 1 Orange. Next time will cut down and lemon/lime juice and add 2nd Orange. I have made it before and realized that avacadoes get mushy if left in recipe so I only add avocado for each serving.

I doubled the recipe and used jalepenos instead of serrano. I also used 4 lemons and 4 limes, no orange. It was delicious! I marinated mine for about an hour and half and it was perfect. Next time I will definitely add some fish...great recipe! Served it with scoops to get all the juices...

You forgot to add ketchup and you don't cook the shrimp you soak it in lemon juice for a couple of hours

The only change I made to this recipe was to add more cilantro. My 10 yr old daughter and I just love the flavor it adds, so I quadrupled the amount called for. I also bought cooked, de-veined shrimp and skipped the cooking step, which made it an even easier dish. The end result of this ceviche recipe is FANTASTIC!
