Nearshore Ceviche? No onions...

What are some thoughts on nearshore fish prep’d ceviche style, and can you skip the onions? I don’t like raw onion.
Recipes?

How about shrimp ceviche?

Dad always catches shrimp in the backyard in ravenel. There’s this little old lady down the street that he takes a few pounds of raw fresh shrimp to once a week or so. She peels them and eats them raw…like popcorn.

I like ceviche, it would probably taste alright with a lot of fish I would guess. I haven’t heard of people doing it with shrimp but they way that old lady eats the raw shrimp, I don’t see a problem with it. Might even taste pretty decent.

shrimp ceviche…

leave shrimp in shell drop in boiling water for 1 min., then drop in ice bath.

peel.

put in tupperware or ziplock and juice of 1 orange, 4 limes, 2 lemons or any combination as long as it covers all shrimp and refrigerate 4 hrs.

then add red onion (or not), avocado, jalapeno or serrano?sp pepper, cilantro, tomato, cucumber and refrigerate 1 hour.

I then drain juice and take a lemon or lime half and squirt on top.

serve with tortilla chips.

Google “pickled shrimp”; there’s a myriad of recipes, use the ingredients you like, it’s good.

I think the reason you don’t see as much “inshore” ceviche is the meat is generally finer and flakier which equals mush when preparing it ceviche style.

The mush makes sense, I was worried about things like parasites that actually need cooking. Some of the AJ talk in the other forums has given me nightmares about what I eat. “Cut around the worms”??? No way!

Freeze the fish for 4 or 5 days before making it and this will kill off any potential parasites that would ordinally be killed from the heat of cooking it. The finer the fish the less time one would marinate it for to avoid being mushy. I marinate wahoo, it being finer, for about half the time I marinate dolphin for.
