Cilantro Seafood Ceviche
- Ready In:
- 2hrs
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb fresh or frozen uncooked shrimp, peeled
- 1⁄2 lb fresh or frozen uncooked squid
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, to taste
- 10 limes, juice of, to 12
- salt and pepper, to taste
directions
- Cut shrimp and squid into small bite size pieces.
- Place meat in a large bowl and pour in the lime juice (meat should be completely covered with the lime juice).
- Cover and let soak in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the meat is tender and white (The whiteness of the meat will tell you that it has cooked in the acid).
- Add cilantro and tomatoes and mix well.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in a sealed container and chill.
- Serve cold alone immediately or let soak for more flavor.
- The recipe keeps refrigerated in sealed container for 3-4 days.
- Note: If you are squeamish about eating seafood cooked in mere acid (like my mom is), you may use half-cooked, blanched seafood in this recipe instead of uncooked seafood (The result will not be as tender a meat, but I have tried both, and the results are comparable).

I am a physician, and thus have little time to work in the kitchen. Most of the food I cook takes little preparation and are simple to make. I believe in following your gut instinct in cooking, and go with whatever your taste buds like and love. I LOVE food, and I LOVE to eat, but I LOVE my body too, and that's why I try to cook the healthiest possible dishes I can without compromising taste. Good tasting food, I think, can truly heal a sick soul.
