Seafood Ceviche
Seafood ceviche is a refreshing and flavorful dish that originates from Latin American cuisine. It's a perfect appetizer for a summer gathering or a light and healthy meal on its own.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh white fish, such as sea bass or snapper, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 avocado, diced (optional, for serving)
- Tortilla chips or plantain chips (for serving)
Instructions
- In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the fish, shrimp, and lime juice. Make sure the seafood is completely submerged in the juice. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and the shrimp is pink and opaque.
- Once the seafood is "cooked" in the lime juice, drain off most of the lime juice, leaving just enough to keep the ceviche moist.
- Add the red onion, jalapeño peppers, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro to the seafood mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine.
- Refrigerate the ceviche for another 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the ceviche in individual bowls or glasses, garnished with diced avocado if desired. Accompany with tortilla chips or plantain chips.
