Hello associates! How are you? I hope your week is off to an incredible begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap put up – needs to be up Wednesday! – however for as we speak, I needed to share a DELICIOUS wholesome appetizer recipe: ceviche!!

Ceviche is a basic and particularly good in the course of the summer season. It wasn’t one thing I make typically at house, however my buddy Kathryn introduced it over final summer season and all of us devoured it. It was recent, superbly flavored, and so so scrumptious. After we had household dinner final evening, I knew it will 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 widespread methodology 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 seem like cooked. It kills just a little little bit of the micro organism, however not all of it. (You possibly can obtain my free parasite cleansing guide here!) I don’t eat a ton of uncooked fish anymore, and whereas I undoubtedly needed ceviche, I needed HEAT to kill the micro organism so I might stuff my face and never fear about any creepy crawlers.

So I did what any woman would do: known as my brother the chef and requested him if I might saute the shrimp first.

He legit laughed at me and knowledgeable me that it will 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 really tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, a lot of 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!!
