Hello pals! How are you? I hope your week is off to a tremendous begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap put up – must be up Wednesday! – however for right this moment, I wished to share a DELICIOUS wholesome appetizer recipe: ceviche!!

Ceviche is a traditional and particularly good throughout the summer time. It wasn’t one thing I make typically at residence, however my good friend Kathryn introduced it over final summer time and all of us devoured it. It was contemporary, superbly flavored, and so so scrumptious. Once we had household dinner final evening, I knew it might make an ideal appetizer.

Right here’s the deal, although: “cooking” the shrimp in lime juice freaks me out. I do know it’s the widespread methodology for making ceviche, however I do know an excessive amount of about parasites lol.

Sure, the acid from the limes can flip the colour of the shrimp opaque in order that they look like cooked. It kills a bit little bit of the micro organism, however not all of it. (You may obtain my free parasite cleansing guide here!) I don’t eat a ton of uncooked fish anymore, and whereas I positively wished ceviche, I wished HEAT to kill the micro organism so I might stuff my face and never fear about any creepy crawlers.

So I did what any woman would do: referred to as my brother the chef and requested him if I might saute the shrimp first.

He legit laughed at me and knowledgeable me that it might be a rubbery catastrophe.

“Blanch it. Only for like a minute after which put it in an ice tub.”

“Okay, so simply put it in boiling water for a minute?”

“Sure however add stuff to it so it truly tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, a lot of salt, taste it up.”

In order that’s what I did! It turned out AMAZING and I’m pumped to share the recipe with you!!

Price mentioning right here that I chopped virtually the whole lot with this contraption and in addition lower the heck out of two of my fingers. It says, “don’t contact the blades” and this implies even when you’re washing it, even when they don’t *appear* sharp. Don’t do it.

(it solely didn’t work on the tomatoes)

Drizzle sriracha on high and add about 1 teaspoon of Worchestershire sauce. Combine. Style it on a tortilla chip (<— that is necessary!) and alter seasonings as needed.
