Shrimp Ceviche With Tequila And Lime Food

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 WITH TEQUILA AND LIME

Steps:

• Combine the kosher salt and water in a medium sauce pan over high heat; bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Immediately pour in the shrimp, stirring occasionally, about one minute. (Note: The acid in the ceviche marinade continues to firm and "cook" the shrimp further; overcooking at this stage will produce rubbery shrimp.) Drain in a colander, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Mix together the onion, bell pepper, lime juice, tequila and chili. Pour over the shrimp, and toss to combine; cover, and refrigerate for one hour. Do not marinate longer than one hour, or the shrimp will become tough. Gently fold in the cilantro and diced avocado; season to taste with salt and pepper, then cover and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. When ready to serve, divide the ceviche among 4 chilled martini glasses; garnish with lime wedges and tortilla chips.

TEQUILA LIME MARINATED SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a small saucepan combine tequilla, lime juice and honey. Bring just to a boil to melt honey and evaporate most of the alcohol. Set aside.
• Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add lemon, onion, bay leaves and peppercorns to boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add salad shrimp and simmer until shrimp are thawed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain shrimp and place in bowl. Add Tequilla mixture, cilantro and jalapeno to shrimp and toss.
• Chill in refrigerator, covered until ready to use or for a quick chill, place bowl over ice. Serve on platter with endive spears, crackers or alone with toothpicks for spearing.

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.

CITRUS CEVICHE WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.
• Stir in the shrimp, scallops, cucumber and red onion. If you are adding chiles or peppers, add them now as well.
• Refrigerate for 3 hours. The shrimp and scallops should have turned white (from opaque) meaning that the citrus juices have "cooked" them.
• 30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.
• Serve in martini glasses with saltine crackers on the side if you want to be fancy, otherwise just put the bowl out with a few spoons and a whole bunch of saltine crackers and tortilla chips and let everyone dig in!
• To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.

LIME CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a nonreactive bowl, combine juice, jalapeño, ginger, and oil.
• Add shrimp/fish, and toss.
• Cover with plastic.
• Chill until flesh is opaque, 1 hour or overnight, stirring occasionally.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss, and serve.
