Mexican Shrimp Ceviche Aguachiles De Camarón Food

CEVICHE DE CAMARON (AUTHENTIC SHRIMP CEVICHE)

Steps:

• Add the lime juice and the Kosher salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Cut the shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces (just under a 1/2" dice) and transfer it to the mixing bowl with the lime juice. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes, toss the shrimp about half-way through. While the shrimp is "cooking," prepare the remaining veggies.
• Remove the seeds and pulp from the tomatoes, chop into a 1/4" dice, and add to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Deseed and finely dice the jalapenos, and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. Add the chopped onion and cilantro to the bowl as well and set aside until ready to use.
• Add the veggie mixture to the bowl with the shrimp. Stir until evenly mixed. Then, cover and refrigerate for about 30-40 minutes more, stirring about every 15 minutes or so, or until shrimp are opaque -- with a pink exterior and white flesh -- and fully cooked through.
• Add the avocado and stir until evenly mixed in. Serve the ceviche chilled with good, hearty tortilla chips, and enjoy!

AGUACHILES

Steps:

• You will need to butterfly and devein your shrimp. Using a sharp knife, cut each shrimp lengthwise along the back. For larger shrimp, cut them cleanly into two halves. For smaller shrimp, do not cut all the way through so that the two halves stay together. Once open, remove the gray line of guts running through the center of the shrimp.
• In a blender, add the chilies, lime juice, cilantro, and the first teaspoon of salt. Blend until the chilies are just broken up. Don't worry about making a smooth paste. A few chunks of chili are not a problem.
• Cover the shellfish with the blended sauce. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 - 20 minutes. You will know it's done when the surface of the shellfish begins to turn opaque and white. If the sauce does not completely cover the shellfish, stir the mixture after about 5 minutes to ensure it marinates evenly.
• While the shellfish is marinating, peel the cucumber and scrape out the seeds. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• To serve Add the cucumber to the bowl of shellfish and toss to combine. Spoon the shellfish, cucumber and sauce into a large flat serving dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with the sliced onions and serve with tostadas and sliced avocados.
