Basic Shrimp Ceviche Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Halve the limes, then juice using a citrus press or a pair of kitchen tongs. You should have about 1 cup (240 ML) total.
• In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, lime juice, salt, jalapeños, onion, and tomatoes. Mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours, until the shrimp is opaque and firm.
• Serve the ceviche chilled. Garnish with cilantro, if desired, and serve with tortilla chips.
• Enjoy!

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.

Steps:

• In large saucepan bring stock or clam juice to a boil. Add shrimp and cook, 30 seconds for rock shrimp, 1 minute for shelled shrimp. Strain, reserving the liquid, and spread shrimp on a baking sheet to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel shrimp if necessary. In large bowl place shrimp. Add all other ingredients along with 1 cup reserved cooking liquid. Mix well. Cover with plastic and chill thoroughly before serving.
