Here's a great recipe for Shrimp & Crab Ceviche, perfect for a Midsummer treat.
Here’s what you need…
Cooking oil (peanut oil is good but use whatever you have on hand)
18 corn tortillas, or as many as you want.
1 1⁄2 lbs medium cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
3⁄4 lb lump crabmeat
1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 -2 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
Add salt to taste
2 avocados, peeled, seeded and cut into slices
2 limes, cut into wedges
DIRECTIONS
Pour oil into a heavy medium pot to a depth of 1” and heat over medium-high heat until temperature is hot enough.
Working in batches, fry tortillas until light golden brown, turning once, about 30 seconds.
Transfer the tostadas to a paper towel-lined plate to let drain and cool.
Put shrimp, crab, lemon juice, cilantro, cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, and salt to taste into a large bowl and stir to combine.
Spoon Ceviche evenly onto tostadas, garnish each with a slice of avocado and serve with lime wedges on the side.
You could even fry up tortilla chips and make appetizers.
Even it's just a small group or even by yourself, you can celebrate the Midsummer with a few fun things to do and eat.
Taking a hike, tending the garden, reading a good book, watch movies, do something for someone else, cooking, or spend some time on personal spiritual growth.
Research Pagan history and beliefs, do a Tarot card reading for yourself.
Whatever you decide, be good to yourself and enjoy the Midsummer energy and make the Shrimp & Crab Ceviche.
