Recipe: Ceviche

My return from vacation ceviche - sadly no beach in sight

I scouted some recipe ideas online - here was my creation

1 lb shrimp

(no tails - and these were actually pre-cooked, even though the lime juice will cook raw shrimp)

The juice of 3 fresh squeezed limes, plus about 1/8-1/4 cup bottled lime juice

let lime and shrimp marinate all night in fridge - then add the following, stir,

and serve with tortilla chips

5 green onions, chopped

1/2 tomato, diced (not a big tomato fan here)

1 piece of celery, chopped

freshly chopped parsley and cilantro (about 1/4 cup total)

ground pepper

splash of olive oil

dash of hot sauce

One of the best things about traveling to the islands is the prevalence of seafood.   Over my 10 days in Aruba and Curacao, I had ceviche three times.   As you can see from the pictures below, the ocean adds a delicious quality to the food.
