Hello mates! How are you? I hope your week is off to a tremendous begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap publish – ought to be up Wednesday! – however for in the present day, I needed to share a DELICIOUS wholesome appetizer recipe: ceviche!!
Ceviche is a traditional and particularly good in the course of the summer season. It wasn’t one thing I make typically at dwelling, however my buddy Kathryn introduced it over final summer season and all of us devoured it. It was contemporary, fantastically flavored, and so so scrumptious. After we had household dinner final evening, I knew it might 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 look like cooked. It kills a bit of little bit of the micro organism, however not all of it. (You’ll be able to obtain my free parasite cleansing guide 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: referred to 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 might 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 truly tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, a number 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!!

Value mentioning right here that I chopped nearly every thing with this contraption and likewise lower the heck out of two of my fingers. It says, “don’t contact the blades” and this implies even when you’re washing it, even when they don’t *appear* sharp. Don’t do it.
(it solely didn’t work on the tomatoes)

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