Shrimp and mango ceviche with avocado

Step 1

Cut the cooked and peeled shrimp into bite sized pieces. You can also leave them whole if you prefer.

Step 2

Rinse the diced onions in cold water to help remove the bitterness.

Step 3

Peel and remove the pulp from mangos. Dice or cut into bite sized pieces.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
