Shrimp Ceviche

Who doesn’t love ceviche? This fresh dish is packed with protein and a hefty dose of veggies. Enjoy it in a corn or whole-grain tortilla or with rice. 

Ceviche usually uses raw seafood “cooked” in lime juice for several hours. Depending on when you get to the store, using the cooked shrimp recommended in the recipe may be a better bet on shift. Cooked shrimp only needs 15-30 minutes to marinate, whereas raw shrimp needs 1.5-2 hours. If calls might get in the way, cooked shrimp is likely safer.
