Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped - see Notes below
- about 6 limes - squeezed see notes
- 1 shallot - finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chiles - jalapeño, serrano, or Fresno chiles
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce or chile sauce +/- - optional
- 1 mango - peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1 avocado - peeled, seeded, and diced
- 1 bunch of cilantro - stems removed and chopped
Instructions
- Add the prepared shrimp to the fresh squeezed lime juice in a non-reactive bowl (ie. glass). Add the chile/hot sauce if using. Stir to combine. The shrimp texture is best (IMHO) if soaked about 15 minutes. Less=raw and more=rubbery.
- Add the prepared mango, tomato, chile pepper, avocado, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauce (if using) to the shrimp. Stir to combine.
- Either fry or bake your tortillas (our preference is baked). For baked tortillas spray both sides with cooking spray, and bake in a 350 degree oven until brown and crispy. We're not looking for temperature hot tortillas, so you can do this in advance if you wish.
- Top tortillas with a scoop of ceviche. Enjoy!
Notes
Living near the Gulf of Mexico, fresh shrimp are available year round. If you must substitute frozen, consider poaching them first. Bring the peeled and deveined shrimp and about 1 quart water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Remove from heat. Poach 3 minutes. Rinse and drain. Proceed with recipe.
Citrus varies a lot in juice yield. You need enough to submerge your shrimp - 1 to 1 1/2 cups.
I love this Ancho-Guajillo Red Chile Sauce from Epicurious. You can substitute Tapatio or similar to taste or omit it entirely. I like the depth it adds to the ceviche.
If you don't want to fry or bake your corn tortillas, you can use prepared tostadas found in the Latin foods aisle of most markets.
