The hot weather has me spending less and less time in the kitchen because cooking heats up the house. I love recipes that don’t require any cooking and keep the house cool. Tropical shrimp ceviche is one of my favorite meals to make during the hot weather because is full of flavor and cooks easily in the refrigerator. 

Florida is a great source of fresh produce and seafood. Some of the best options include shrimp, corn, watermelon, tomatoes, blueberries. I always look for Fresh from Florida items when I am picking up ingredients to make my tropical shrimp ceviche. 

Tropical Shrimp Ceviche:

1 lb Fresh from Florida shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1/2 cup diced pineapple
3 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
1 avocado, roughly chopped
1 tsp salt

Let’s Make It:

1. Chop shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces. Combine pineapple juice and lime juice in a large glass bowl. Add shrimp, red onion, and jalapeno to bowl. Transfer to refrigerator and let sit for at least 30-40 minutes or until shrimp turn light pink.  (You can leave it in the refrigerator for up to six hours and the shrimp will still taste great!)

2. Drain shrimp mixture, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. 

3. Combine shrimp mixture, 2 Tbsp reserved liquid, cilantro, pineapple, avocado pieces, and salt. Keep refrigerated until read to serve. 

I love the combination of the tangy lime juice and the creamy avocado. It pairs perfectly with the shrimp. This ceviche makes the perfect easy dinner on a hot night.

We have had this several times already this summer. I can put it in the refrigerator before I leave to take H to gymnastics and it is ready for when Mathlete gets home. It really is the perfect summer meal. The Fresh from Florida shrimp make it even better. Be sure to visit the Fresh from Florida site for great recipe ideas.
