Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the cooked and peeled shrimp into bite sized pieces. You can also leave them whole if you prefer.
  2. Rinse the diced onions in cold water to help remove the bitterness.
  3. Peel and remove the pulp from mangos. Dice or cut into bite sized pieces.
  4. Mix the cooked shrimp with the diced mango, diced red onions, diced hot peppers, chopped cilantro, lime juice (save 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice for the onion curtido salsa), orange juice and salt to taste. Refrigerate and let marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Use the thinly sliced red onions to make a marinated onion salsa or curtido to serve with the ceviche. Place the red onion slices in a bowl, sprinkle with some salt, and cover with cold water. Rinse well and drain. Sprinkle the washed sliced red onions with 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste, and a little bit of chopped cilantro. For a spicy kick you can also add some diced hot pepper to the onion curtido salsa.
  6. When ready to serve the ceviche, add in the diced avocado and 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (the oil is optional). Mix well, taste and add additional salt or more cilantro/hot peppers/lime juice if needed.
  7. Serve topped with the onion curtido salsa, and with your choice of crunch side garnishes: green plantain chips (aka patacones/tostones) or chifles, popcorn, or tostado style corn.
