How to Make Guatemala N Ceviche

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1 pound of shrimp and blanch for 3 minutes. Immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Once cooled, drain the shrimp thoroughly.
  3. Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Pour 1 cup of fresh lime juice over the shrimp. Gently toss to coat. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  5. Add ½ cup finely chopped red onion, 1 cup chopped tomatoes, 2-3 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), ½ cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss to combine. Marinate for an additional 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  6. Serve chilled with your favorite crackers or tortilla chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
