Shrimp ceviche is the one snack that I love to have on hand. I usually do as I always have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer and tomatoes , jalapeños in the fridge to name a few. This dish is super easy to make. I make mine with a little Colombian flare! You may be asking what makes it Colombian? Well, I use a little ketchup and mayo in my ceviche, you can definitely leave them out but I suggest you give it a try. Be sure to tag me if you try this recipe, I’d love to see what you guys come up with. #cookitkelly_ @cookitkelly_
Ingredients
- 16-18 shrimp
- 2 plum tomaotes
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 jalapeno diced
- 1 tomatillo (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/2 tablespoon mayo
- juice of two limes
- cilantro to your liking (optional)
Directions
- In a med-large pot, bring water to a boil. De-shell the shrimp.
- In the meantime start dicing the veggies; tomatoes, jalapeños, onions etc.
- In a medium bowl, mix everything; the diced veggies, s&p , ketchup and mayo , lime juice and cilantro. Mix well and put it in the fridge.
- Water should be boiling at this point, throw in the shrimp with a little chili powder (1 tablespoon) if you have it on hand. Cook shrimp for about 7-8mins. Shrimp should be red in color.
- Grab another bowl and give them an ice bath. Place about 6-8 ice cubes to the shrimp and cold water. Let them cool for about 10 mins.
- Remove the cooked shrimp and chop them up. Throw them in the mix you have marinating in the fridge. Leave it in the fridge for about 15-25 mins so that shrimp gets all the flavors from the mix you made before.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips!
