Shrimp Ceviche with Cucumber and Avocado
While most ceviche utilizes raw shrimp that “cooks” in citrus juice, I actually prefer to flash poach my shrimp to ensure it’s cooked fully. Then it’s loaded with three types of citrus, cilantro, red onion, tomato jalapeño and, last but not least, cool cucumber and creamy avocado.
