Shrimp Ceviche

Shrimp Ceviche

This is one of my go to recipes for potlucks and parties. It’s super fresh and there’s no cooking required. It’s kind of like a chunky, citrusy, shrimpy salsa. This is a great summer dish, buuut I didn’t want to wait until summer to post this. And it’s good any time of year!

The first few times I made this I was a little freaked out by the idea of “cooking” the shrimp in the lime juice. I usually would marinate the shrimp for a couple of hours, then cook it on the skillet for a couple minutes, then cool the shrimp down in the fridge before adding to the rest of the ingredients. Now I let the marinade do all of the cooking, but I won’t judge if you use my old method 😜

The first time I had ceviche was on vacation in North Carolina with my sister, Bridgette, and my cousins. We were at an ocean side restaurant and none of us really knew what ceviche was, but we ordered it any way. We all talked about how amazing it was for the rest of the trip, so when we got home I did some research and figured out it’s a very easy thing to prepare.

The hardest part of this recipe is the prep, but once all the chopping is done it’s just a matter of mixing everything together. If I make this the day before I just add in the avocado, cucumber, and cilantro before serving. Everything will still taste good if you mix everything together ahead of time, it just won’t be as pretty.

What really makes this dish is the ketchup. I know, it sounds weird, but the ketchup really ties everything together. I’ve made this before, skipping the ketchup, and it’s just not the same.
