Hello buddies! How are you? I hope your week is off to a tremendous begin. I’m nonetheless engaged on my Disney cruise recap publish – ought to be up Wednesday! – however for at the moment, I needed to share a DELICIOUS wholesome appetizer recipe: ceviche!!

Ceviche is a basic and particularly good in the course of the summer time. It wasn’t one thing I make usually at house, however my buddy Kathryn introduced it over final summer time and all of us devoured it. It was recent, superbly flavored, and so so scrumptious. After we had household dinner final night time, I knew it could make an ideal appetizer.

(You possibly can obtain my free parasite cleansing guide here!) I don’t eat a ton of uncooked fish anymore, and whereas I positively needed ceviche, I needed HEAT to kill the micro organism so I may stuff my face and never fear about any creepy crawlers.

So I did what any woman would do: referred to as my brother the chef and requested him if I may saute the shrimp first.

He legit laughed at me and knowledgeable me that it could be a rubbery catastrophe.

“Blanch it. Only for like a minute after which put it in an ice bathtub.”

“Okay, so simply put it in boiling water for a minute?”

“Sure however add stuff to it so it really tastes good. Make a blanching liquid with peppercorns, numerous salt, taste it up.”

In order that’s what I did! It turned out AMAZING and I’m pumped to share the recipe with you!!
