How To “Cook” The Shrimp
There’s actually no “cooking” involved in this recipe because ceviche is usually made with raw fish.
The actual cooking process is done by the citrus which cooks the fish while it is marinating. Marinating fish in citrus acts the same way as if you were heating the fish. It firms it up and provides a refreshing, tart flavor. Honestly, it feels like you’re on a beach vacation.
At first, I was skeptical about this way of “cooking” fish but as long as you don’t marinate it for more than 30 minutes, it’s safe to eat.
Once the ceviche is ready, just scoop itinto ripe avocados and you’re good to go!
So don’t just stand there…go make this super easy recipe now!
