Avocado Soup With Shrimp Ceviche Recipes

AVOCADO SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the shrimp and lime juice. Let stand for 5 minutes until the shrimp turn opaque. The lime juice will cook the shrimp. Add the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro and toss with the lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
• Add the chopped avocados and toss right before serving and salt and pepper to taste.

CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thinly slice 1/2 lemon and put in a medium saucepan with 4 cups water, the garlic, bay leaf and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Grate ½ teaspoon lemon zest and juice the remaining 1 1/2 lemons; set aside.
• Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat. Add the shrimp and poach until just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon; reserve the saucepan and poaching liquid. Refrigerate the shrimp until chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the peas, parsley and 1/2 cup pea shoots in a blender (preferably a high-speed blender). Add the garlic from the poaching liquid plus 1 1/4 cups poaching liquid. Carefully blend until smooth. Add 1 cup ice cubes, then add the avocados, scallions, tarragon, the reserved lemon zest and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Blend until very smooth, thinning with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Stir the soup and thin with cold water, if needed. Add more lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Divide the soup among shallow bowls.
• Toss the chilled shrimp with 1 teaspoon each lemon juice and avocado oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Put in the middle of the soup and top with the remaining 1/4 cup pea shoots. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons avocado oil.

SHRIMP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the chunks of shrimp (and crab if using) and the juice of one lemon; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside and chill (in the refrigerator or on ice) for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare the ceviche by combining all the ingredients (add the avocados last, just before serving) in a large bowl with ice water, stirring well to combine. Drain well; fold in the shrimp, and season to taste with garlic powder and lemon pepper.
• Keep well chilled (preferably on ice) until serving time.
• Serve with tortilla chips and optional chili sauce.
• Ceviche must be served well-chilled, and is best served on the same day it is made.

CEVICHE, A COLD SEAFOOD SOUP

Steps:

• Cut fish into half-inch cubes. Peel, deseed, finely dice and then mince jalapeno pepper. Finely dice sweet white onion and mince garlic clove. Pick cilantro.
• Zest and juice limes and lemon, reserving zest. Combine above ingredients with olive oil in a bowl and refrigerate for an hour. Zest, then remove grapefruit peel and cut segments from the pith. Peel and seed avocados and cut into small cubes. Combine lime, lemon and grapefruit zest and rough chop. Stir together marinated seafood mixture with grapefruit segments, avocado cubes and zests. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with white corn tortilla chips.

FRESH SHRIMP CEVICHE WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Clean and devein the shrimp, cut into 1-inch pieces, and transfer to a bowl. Add the lime, lemon, and orange juice, stir to combine, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 8. (I let my sit overnight). This technique cooks the shrimp.
• Chop all the vegetables into small cubes.
• Add canned tomatoes with the juice, onion, cilantro, bell peppers and serrano pepper into the shrimp mixture (with the citrus) and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, gently stir in diced cucumber. Divide the ceviche among 8 chilled martini glasses, top with avocado and tuck 2 to 3 tortilla chips around the sides of each. This recipe actually makes alot! I've served close to 15 people and they all had seconds.
• You can leave the avocado out and serve it individually for those who don't want avocado -- either way, it's delicious.
