20 min + 2 hr chillingPrep
3 minCook

Ingredients

  • 1.3 pounds shrimp (or fish), cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • Juice of several limes, enough to cover the shrimp, about 10-15
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1 cucumber, cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2/3 pound Roma tomatoes, diced
  • Capers, rinsed, to taste (optional)
  • 1 serrano pepper, chopped, or more to add heat

Steps

  1. Blanch the shrimp or fish in boiling water for 3 minutes. Immediately submerge in ice bath to stop cooking process.
  2. Drain and submerge shrimp in lime juice.
  3. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  4. Drain, then mix with all the remaining ingredients.
Heart-healthy notes

Shrimp is very low in saturated fat. Rinse the capers to wash off some of their salt, and skip any added salt; the lime does the work.

Note: Serve with a little diced avocado for healthy fat.
