Hello mates! How are you? I hope your week is off to an incredible begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap publish – ought to be up Wednesday! – however for at the moment, I needed 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 usually at house, however my pal Kathryn introduced it over final summer time and all of us devoured it. It was recent, fantastically flavored, and so so scrumptious. After we had household dinner final night time, I knew it will 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 frequent technique 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 seem like cooked. It kills just a little little bit of the micro organism, however not all of it. (You’ll be able to obtain my free parasite cleaning information right here!) I don’t eat a ton of uncooked fish anymore, and whereas I positively needed ceviche, I needed HEAT to kill the micro organism so I may stuff my face and never fear about any creepy crawlers.
So I did what any woman would do: known as my brother the chef and requested him if I may saute the shrimp first.
He legit laughed at me and knowledgeable me that it will 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 really tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, plenty 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!!

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