Ingredients

  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup tequila
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 1 Tbsp minced serrano chile from about ½ pepper (can substitute jalapeño if desired)
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup diced tomato
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Chile dusted tortilla chips, (recipe below)

Chile Dusted Tortilla Chips

  • 8 8" corn tortillas
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Chili powder

Instructions

  • Chop shrimp into bite-sized pieces (see notes if you want to quick cook shrimp first).
  • In a large bowl, combine tequila, lime juice, red onion, and serrano chili. Stir shrimp into mixture and place in the fridge for about an hour. 
  • Remove bowl from fridge and stir in cucumber, tomato, avocado, and cilantro.
  • Serve ceviche with chile dusted tortilla chips.

Chile Dusted Tortilla Chips

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lay a tortilla on a cutting board. Brush olive oil on top of it and then lay another tortilla on top of that. Continue until you have 8 tortillas layered on top of each other. Brush olive oil on the top tortilla and then cut tortillas into 8 triangles.
  • Set triangles oil-side up on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and chili powder.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until chips are nice and crispy to your liking.

Notes

  • If you want to quick-cook your shrimp before turning into ceviche, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes. Drain and immediately put shrimp in an ice bath to prevent further cooking.
