My Hubby’s Chris Moore, is a real estate genius who leaves most of the cooking to me. But, he is also a fantastic fisherman and when it comes to sushi, ceviche, and even selecting fish, my husband takes on a whole new form of genius.
For this week’s #SOBikini Recipe Wednesday, Chris shares his delicious Shrimp Ceviche Recipe that we enjoyed on Sunday, actually, while watching his favorite football team, the Cincinnati Bengals. To our delight, it was a double win.. the Bengals won the game and the ceviche was a winning creation.
Ceviche is commonly seen served as an appetizer, but really, it is quite a versatile dish.
Enjoy leftover ceviche as a mid-week snack or as part of your lunch, place atop a pile of mixed greens tossed with a simple balsamic vinaigrette. Delicious, nutritious and just downright enjoyable to the eyes and the tastebuds.
To create a balanced, flavorful ceviche, fresh shrimp is marinated
in fresh lime and lemon juice for 1 hour. Then, a blend of red onion, green onion, serano chile peppers, and cilantro are added and the mixture marinates for another two hours. Once ready, the ceviche is served with a dollop of non-fat sour cream, fresh tomato salsa, and avocado.
As a serving suggestion, an even healthier alternative
to non-fat sour cream would be to substitute a dollop of non-fat, plain greek yogurt. Very similar in flavor yet greek yogurt has probiotic properties and a bit of healthy protein.
