TROPICAL SHRIMP CEVICHE TACOS

Steps:

• Defrost shrimp in fridge if frozen, remove and discard tails. Prepare an ice bath in large bowl, set aside. In a large pot, bring water with salt to a strong boil. Add shrimp and cook 1 minute or just until opaque.
• Drain hot water, then add shrimp to ice bath to chill and stop cooking. Drain and chop shrimp into smaller cubes.
• Place shrimp in a medium non-reactive bowl. Add lime, lemon, and tangerine juices. Stir in red onion and jalapeno. Shrimp should be submerged in liquid.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. Stir in bell pepper and tomato. Chill additional 30 minutes to an hour.
• Before serving, stir in avocado, mango and cilantro. Heat or toast corn tortillas. Using a slotted spoon, scoop shrimp ceviche (allowing liquid to drain first) into tortillas and serve.

EASY SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Combine cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, serrano peppers, and cilantro in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt and squeeze 1 lime. Gently mix and set aside.
• Squeeze the remaining limes into another bowl. Add remaining salt and pepper.
• Bring a 1- to 2-quart pot of water to a boil. Place shrimp into the boiling water for 45 seconds. Quickly remove from the water using a strainer.
• Chop the partially cooked shrimp into small pieces and add to the bowl with the seasoned lime mixture. Let sit for 20 minutes. Combine with the cucumber mixture and top with avocados.

SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup lime juice and let stand for 15 minutes so the shrimp can "cook" in the lime juice (any less and it won't cook, any more and it toughens).
• Meanwhile, in a separate large mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup lime juice, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, red onions and serrano chile to incorporate evenly. Transfer the mixed vegetables into the shrimp bowl and mix well to incorporate. Season the ceviche with some salt. Serve with saltine crackers, bottled hot sauce and lime wedges if desired.

BLACKENED SHRIMP STREET TACO WITH RED SNAPPER CEVICHE

Steps:

• For the red snapper ceviche: In a bowl, mix together the snapper, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and tomato. Season with salt. Chill until ready to serve.
• For the taco mix: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Blackening Spice. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Let stand.
• In a bowl, combine the cabbage, radishes, cilantro, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Toss well and set aside.
• For the "mock"-amole: Puree the peas in a food processor. Add the lime juice, red onions, red peppers, cilantro, Sriracha and cumin; pulse until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet until soft. Stack two tortillas on each serving plate, spread with "mock"-amole and top with shrimp and cabbage slaw. Serve the ceviche on the side. Garnish with lime wedges.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well blended. Store in an airtight container.

CEVICHE TACOS

Steps:

• Finely grate rind from limes to measure 1 tablespoon; juice limes to measure 1/4 cup.
• Place rind and juice in a large bowl. (use a glass or ceramic bowl, aluminum or copper bowl will react with the citrus juice and give it a metallic taste).
• Add tomato, avocado, cilantro, salt, pepper, garlic and shrimp. If you want, you can add some chopped onion and fresh jalapenos. Toss well to combine.
• Cover and chill for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Heat tortillas.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup of shrimp mixture down the center of tortilla; fold and eat.
• You can serve it plain and/or eat with crackers or you can use hard tacos shells, tostadas, tortilla chips or whatever you like. My dad eats it with saltine crackers. He adds extra onion and jalapenos, personal preference!
