Pearl loves Ceviche

If you need a fresh seafood appetizer in a flash, Ceviche takes only 30 minutes. It is all fresh veggies, and always looks like you spent hours preparing it. It is great during the summer time because it is cold, and fresh.
First, you need get the following ingredients:

-6 Roma tomatoes
-1 long cucumber
-1 Jalapeno
-1/2 white onion
-1/2 lb of cooked shrimp
-tapatio
-garlic salt and pepper
-6 limes, or lime juice

Seriously, this is just about the easiest recipe. As long as you have some sort of chopper, you will be golden.

Start by cutting your toms into quarters, and placing them into your chopper. The way I usually know that they are done, is when they look like chunky salsa. Drop those puppies into a nice size bowl.
Next, do the same thing with the half onion, and jalapeno. Add to bowl.

You will need a peeler for the next step. If not that, than I hope you are a damn ninja with that knife of yours. Peel the skin off your long cucumber. (hehe) Then chop the cucumber into small dices. (the food chopper might make the pieces too small.)




Once you mix it all together it should look a little something like this.]

Repeat the chopping step with your shrimp. I prefer to use my processor because it makes the shrimp into bite size pieces.


Last step is where you let your creative side show. Add the lemon juice, along with garlic salt, and Tapatio. You can add as little or as much as your heart desires. These touches only add to the flavor, or for the Tapatio, make it spicy. You could even add additional jalapenos if you want to get wild and crazy.

Bon Appetit! I mean, ¡Permite come!
