Avocado Ceviche And Chili Lime Chips Food

SHRIMP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the chunks of shrimp (and crab if using) and the juice of one lemon; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside and chill (in the refrigerator or on ice) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare the ceviche by combining all the ingredients (add the avocados last, just before serving) in a large bowl with ice water, stirring well to combine. Drain well; fold in the shrimp, and season to taste with garlic powder and lemon pepper.
• Keep well chilled (preferably on ice) until serving time.
• Serve with tortilla chips and optional chili sauce.
• Ceviche must be served well-chilled, and is best served on the same day it is made.

AVOCADO "CEVICHE" AND CHILI LIME CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat: Put racks in the upper- and lower-thirds of the oven; preheat to 350°F (177°F).
• Mix avocado "ceviche": In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Add the avocado, bell pepper, cucumber, corn, radish, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Toss gently to coat.
• Marinate "ceviche": Cover and transfer to the fridge. Let sit to marinate, for at least 15 minutes, stirring a couple times to make sure all vegetables are coated.
• Cut tortillas chips: Stack the tortillas. Make four cuts down the stack of tortillas, so each tortilla becomes 8 even pieces. Scatter over two parchment lined baking sheets.
• Season and bake chips: In a small bowl, whisk together grapeseed oil, lime juice, and lime zest. Brush the mixture over both sides of the chips. Sprinkle the tops evenly with ¼ teaspoon of the salt and ¼ teaspoon of the chili powder. Bake until the chips are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
• Serve: Taste chips and season with more salt and chili powder if you'd like. Serve with avocado "ceviche".

SCALLOPS & SHRIMPS CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice red onion and salt generously, and let stand 15 minutes until it begins to release its liquid. ( this will removed some bitterness). Rinse well.
• Place shrimps, scallops, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, chili, and lime juice in a shallow bowl, gently mix, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• Before serving, add cilantro, cucumber and tomato and a drizzle of olive oil, gently mix. Taste for salt.
• To make Avocado Sauce, blend the avocados, 1/3 cup cilantro, water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt & pepper, coriander, 1/8 cup lime juice and 2 garlic cloves in a blender until smooth, adding a bit more water if needed to get the blades going.

FRESH SHRIMP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Clean and devein the shrimp, cut into 1-inch pieces, and transfer to a bowl. Add the lime, lemon, and orange juice, stir to combine, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 8. (I let my sit overnight). This technique cooks the shrimp.
• Chop all the vegetables into small cubes.
• Add canned tomatoes with the juice, onion, cilantro, bell peppers and serrano pepper into the shrimp mixture (with the citrus) and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, gently stir in diced cucumber. Divide the ceviche among 8 chilled martini glasses, top with avocado and tuck 2 to 3 tortilla chips around the sides of each. This recipe actually makes alot! I've served close to 15 people and they all had seconds.
• You can leave the avocado out and serve it individually for those who don't want avocado -- either way, it's delicious.
