Shrimp Seviche Cocktail Food

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.

THE BEST SHRIMP CEVICHE!

Steps:

• Thaw shrimp in refrigerator overnight. Squeeze juice from shrimp and place in colander. Rinse shrimp with cold water and squeeze shrimp again to remove excess water. This step is important to remove the "fishy taste", from the shrimp. Repeat this process once more and place shrimp in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix with a spoon. Dump ceviche into a ziploc bag and place in fridge, turning over the bag every 30 minutes or so to mix ingredients. After marinading for 2-3 hours, drain excess juice from bag and place ceviche back into the medium bowl. Enjoy on top of tostadas or saltine crackers topped with avacado slices. Feel free to double the recipe for potlucks or bbqs.
