Diet - Shrimp Ceviche Cocktail

While most of us think of classic ceviche as raw fish marinated in fresh lime juice long enough to give it a cooked texture, in Mexico there are ceviche "cocktails" that combine seafood that's been cooked with fresh vegetables, hot sauce, lime juice and just a little tomato sauce. It's an easy, refreshing crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

1/2 C. chopped onion
6 C. water
3/4 C. fresh lime juice, divided
1 lb. medium shrimp
1 C. chopped peeled cucumber
1/2 C. ketchup
1/3 C. chopped fresh cilantro
2 T. Mexican hot sauce (such as Tamazula)
1 T. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation

Place chopped onion in a colander, and rinse with cold water. Drain.

Bring 6 cups water and 1/4 cup juice to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add shrimp; cook 3 minutes or until done. Drain and rinse with cold water; peel shrimp. Combine shrimp and 1/2 cup juice in a large bowl; cover and chill 1 hour. Stir in onion, cucumber, and remaining ingredients. Serve immediately or chilled.
