INGREDIENTS:

  • Tomato - 1 large (150 grams)
  • Red onion - 1/3 medium (50 grams)

  • Avocado - 1 small-medium (100 grams)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cook the quinoa if using uncooked (1/3 cup uncooked).
  2. Take a medium-sized pot fill it with water three-quarters full. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the shrimp (please see notes for instructions on shrimp). Boil for 1-2 minutes and immediately run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop and add to a large sealable container.
  3. Chop the tomato, red onion, and cilantro. Add them to the shrimp together with the lime juice, soy sauce, sea salt, pepper, and paprika. Seal and mix gently.
  4. Serve with romaine lettuce, quinoa, and avocado. Enjoy!

*Note: For best results place the container with the ceviche in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. This helps increase the flavor. Divide equally by the listed number of servings. Stays fresh in the refrigerator for 3 days. Store the ceviche separately from the lettuce, quinoa, and avocado. Shrimp should be peeled, clean (deveined), and without a head and tail. If frozen, thaw under running cold water or in the refrigerator overnight. Pat dry and remove the tails before cooking. You may also peel and devein them yourself if desired.
