Shrimp Salmon Ceviche Recipes

EASY SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Combine cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, serrano peppers, and cilantro in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt and squeeze 1 lime. Gently mix and set aside.
• Squeeze the remaining limes into another bowl. Add remaining salt and pepper.
• Bring a 1- to 2-quart pot of water to a boil. Place shrimp into the boiling water for 45 seconds. Quickly remove from the water using a strainer.
• Chop the partially cooked shrimp into small pieces and add to the bowl with the seasoned lime mixture. Let sit for 20 minutes. Combine with the cucumber mixture and top with avocados.

SALMON CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a large glass or plastic bowl, dissolve the sugar, salt, and chili paste in the lime juice. Season with pepper and cumin. Stir in the olive oil, garlic, onion, tomato, and cilantro. Gently mix in the salmon, then cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• To serve, drain the excess liquid from the salmon, then gently stir in the avocado slices, and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

SHRIMP & SALMON CEVICHE

Steps:

• Put salmon in nonreactive bowl and cover with lime juice. Let marinate for 30 minutes. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over low heat. Add garlic and shrimp and sauté until shrimp is cooked through (two to three minutes). Remove from heat. Drain salmon and place in glass bowl with garlic, sautéed shrimp, tomato, jalapeño, avocado, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add more lime juice, if desired. Thoroughly combine. Serve with butter lettuce leaves to make into wraps.

SHRIMP CEVICHE

Steps:

• Slice the ends off the cucumbers, then slice four strips lengthwise. The goal here is to get strips of cucumber with no seeds. Cut each strip into smaller (approximately 1/4") strips using a small, sharp knife.
• Using a chef's or santoku knife, dice the cucumber strips into 1/4" cubes.
• Place diced cucumber into a large, sealable bowl. Discard the center portion of the cucumbers.
• Dice each of the three bell peppers similarly, using as much of the flesh as possible. Add to bowl.
• Cut a large red onion in half, peel it, and place the flat side down on a cutting board. Cut off the top and bottom, then using your small knife, make a series of parallel cuts 1/4" apart, perpendicular to the top/bottom cuts. The use your chef's knife to cut perpendicularly to THESE cuts and you'll have perfectly diced onions. Add to bowl.
• Finally, dice the chili pepper. Care should be taken not to add seeds to the ceviche.
• If using fresh limes, zest one or two and add the lime zest to the bowl.
• Rinse peeled, deveined, and butterflied raw shrimp and put in a large Ziploc bag. Pour in approximately 2/3 c lime juice. You can add a bit of lemon juice here, too, if desired, but lime should be predominant. If using fresh lime juice, you can throw a couple of the juiced lime halves into the bag as well. Seal and lay flat in the refrigerator.
• Finely chop the fresh cilantro, reserving enough whole leaves for garnish. Add chopped cilantro to bowl.
• Seal bowl and shake vigorously to thoroughly mix all ingredients. Open and add the remaining lime juice. Reseal and refrigerate.
• The chemical "cooking" process begins immediately and usually takes several hours. I like the lime flavoring to be fairly pronounced, so I let the process carry on overnight. You'll want to flip the bag and shake the bowl a couple of times during the process.
• The shrimp can be served whole (as pictured) or chopped into large pieces and incorporated into the ceviche.
• Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with fresh tortilla chips or thinly sliced, toasted baguette bread.

PERUVIAN SALMON CEVICHE

Steps:

• Combine salmon and shrimp in a large glass bowl. Combine 2 quarts water and 1/4 cup sea salt; stir until salt has dissolved. Pour salt water over salmon and shrimp and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Mix onions and remaining 1/4 cup sea salt in a bowl and cover with remaining cold water. Set aside for 15 minutes. Drain.
• Combine lime juice, celery, ginger, garlic, and chile peppers in a blender; blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve.
• Rinse salmon and shrimp in a sieve under running cold water to wash off the salt. Rinse red onions. Mix salmon, shrimp, and onions in a large bowl. Cover with lime mixture. Set aside for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro, lettuce leaves, and lime wedges.
