Sail the Seven Ceviche-Seas

Ceviche-the hubs has been having a hankering for this. Ceviche is a seafood dish that cooks raw fish or seafood in citrus juice. Of course, you can always prepare this with prepared fish if that is more comfortable for you. If using prepared fish or shrimp I would suggest not marinating the fish, just prepare it more like a fish taco. Salmon is featured in the picture, but Tilapia is a better choice.

1 lb Raw Shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail removed and cut into small pieces
1 C Lime juice
1 C tomatoes, chopped
1 C onion, chopped
1/2 C cilantro, chopped
1 Jalapeno pepper, remove ribs and seeds and chop finely
salt and pepper to taste
1 Avocado, chopped
Shredded cheese
Tostadas

Prepare shrimp and put in 1/2 C of lime juice in a glass bowl. Let shrimp "cook" in juice remove after 15 minutes and drain. In a separate bowl mix the remaining lime juice, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, salt and pepper. Place shrimp on a tostada, top with salsa, avocado, and cheese.
