INGREDIENTS • Shrimp: 2 pounds (21-25 medium shrimp) Chef tip: Make sure to peel and devein them properly before blanching them and cooking them in the lime juice. ¡Muy bueno! • Limes: Use Persian limes for more juice. • Roma tomatoes • Cucumbers • Red onion: Use a mandoline for thin slices. • Mango cubes • Cilantro, finely chopped • Avocados: Dice ripe avocados and fold into the ceviche, and if you have any left over, slice to use as a garnish. • Serranos or jalapeños. DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro and sliced serrano pepper. Next, marinate the shrimp in lime juice in the refrigerator until they turn pink, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, drain the shrimp. Next, fold the shrimp into the bowl with the veggies. Then, prepare the seasoning by whisking together lime juice, celery salt and granulated garlic. Pour over the ceviche and mix well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated. Adjust seasoning to taste. Lastly, serve the ceviche on tostadas, topped with avocado slices and a sprinkle of sea salt. Accompany with lime wedges and hot sauce for an extra kick. Provecho!
