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

Ceviche is a traditional and particularly good through the summer time. It wasn’t one thing I make typically at house, however my buddy Kathryn introduced it over final summer time and all of us devoured it. It was recent, superbly flavored, and so so scrumptious. Once we had household dinner final evening, I knew it could 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 seem like cooked. It kills a bit 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 could be a rubbery catastrophe.

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

“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, 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!!
