Hello pals! How are you? I hope your week is off to an incredible begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap put up – must be up Wednesday! – however for at the moment, I wished to share a DELICIOUS wholesome appetizer recipe: ceviche!!

Ceviche is a basic and particularly good through the summer season. It wasn’t one thing I make usually at residence, however my good friend Kathryn introduced it over final summer season and all of us devoured it. It was recent, superbly flavored, and so so scrumptious. Once we had household dinner final night time, I knew it might make an ideal appetizer.

Right here’s the deal, although: “cooking” the shrimp in lime juice freaks me out. I do know it’s the frequent technique for making ceviche, however I do know an excessive amount of about parasites lol.

Sure, the acid from the limes can flip the colour of the shrimp opaque in order that they look like cooked. It kills a bit little bit of the micro organism, however not all of it. (You’ll be able to obtain my free parasite cleansing guide here!) I don’t eat a ton of uncooked fish anymore, and whereas I undoubtedly wished ceviche, I wished HEAT to kill the micro organism so I may stuff my face and never fear about any creepy crawlers.

So I did what any lady would do: referred to as my brother the chef and requested him if I may saute the shrimp first.

He legit laughed at me and knowledgeable me that it might be a rubbery catastrophe.

“Blanch it. Only for like a minute after which put it in an ice tub.”

“Okay, so simply put it in boiling water for a minute?”

“Sure however add stuff to it so it truly tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, numerous salt, taste it up.”

In order that’s what I did! It turned out AMAZING and I’m pumped to share the recipe with you!!
