Get your ceviche fix with this fully cooked version featuring shrimp, avocado, lots of lime, and lots of flavor.

Well guys, I made it to my 100th post – and it only took me 342 days! I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing. But it does tell you something about how I’ve spent my free time during the past 342 days.

I thought I would celebrate by posting a fun party-appropriate recipe and a giveaway.

Making Ceviche At Home – The Safe Way

I absolutely love ceviche. The fish. The citrus. The spice. Perfection in a dish.

Traditional ceviche is made with raw fish. When the fish is combined with fresh citrus dish, it sort of cooks. I don’t know enough about the chemical process to describe it here. But I am a little leery about eating seafood that isn’t fully cooked at home.

I came up with this suitable (and safe!) alternative to ceviche that captures the traditional flavors of this famous South American dish, without the raw fish risk.

This cooked ceviche recipe is heavy on the lime. Along with the spicy, buttery adobo sauce, this recipe is going to kick you in the pants, make you pucker, and leave you wanting more. 

If you’re into bold, spicy, and sour flavors all wrapped into one dish, you have to give this recipe a try!

To cut down on cost, look for frozen shrimp at the grocery store or purchase at the deli counter to keep the cost under control. I think I requested $2.00 worth of shrimp for this recipe.
