Cool "Cooking:" Ceviche

By: Jessica Ivaska | July 05 2010
Posted in Seattle - Cook It - Seattle

The first time I heard about ceviche was at happy hour; the friend I'd met up with couldn't stop gushing about its wonders. Even though I was a little squeamish about eating fish that had never touched a hot pan, her foodie credentials helped me muster my courage and try it. Boy, was I glad I did. The bright flavors of lime and tomato accompanied by flaky pieces of fish were heaven in my mouth.

Fresh Flavors
Now, as summer comes rolling into Seattle, I've been dreaming of those fresh flavors. With temperatures finally starting rise, ceviche is the perfect addition to any summer menu. It's citrus-marinated (which actually cooks the fish) so there's no need to heat up the oven or fire up the grill. Plus, with the abundance of fresh fish and shellfish available in Seattle, it's the perfect place to experiment with flavors and ingredients. That's just what I did.

Tradition with a Twist
I started with the basics: seafood (shrimp), citrus juice and tomatoes, then added a few of my favorite Latin flavors: cilantro, avocado, jalapeño and green onions. The result was a fresh, flavorful dish that tastes like summer. Go ahead, whip up a batch and enjoy...no cooking required.
