Shrimp Avocado Ceviche Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and small diced
• 1/4 English cucumber, seeds removed and diced
• 1 small ripe mango, peeled, pit removed, and diced
• 1 cup Oregon shrimp meat (also known as bay shrimp)
• 1 large ripe avocado
• 1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped
• Kosher salt, to taste

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine red onion and lime juice. Mix to coat.
2. Add soy sauce, jalapeño, cucumber, mango, and shrimp. Mix to combine.
3. Halve avocado and remove pit. Use tip of knife to score each avocado half into a grid. Scoop out small avocado cubes into bowl with other ingredients.
4. Add cilantro and gently fold together until just combined. Add salt, to taste.
5. Cook’s Tips:
6. Raw onions can have a harsh, sulfury taste. We start by squeezing lime juice over the onion so that the acid in the juice will tame the flavor.
7. Oregon shrimp meat comes pre-cooked and ready-to-eat. Its small size makes it perfect for this recipe. Any pre-cooked shrimp will work, but large shrimp will have to be cut into bite-size pieces.
8. Ceviche should be made no more than a few hours before it’s eaten because lime juice will continue to slowly cook the shrimp until it turns rubbery.
