Ceviche - Fish And/Or Shrimp

Healthy and terribly yummy. I always love sampling ceviche at farmers' markets, but can't justify spending $6 - $8 for a small tub. Making it yourself at home is not difficult, and much more budget-friendly.

• Ready In: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 lbs  tilapia fillets (chopped into small cubes. or 1 3/4 lbs substitute shrimp or 1 3/4 lbs use a combination of fish and ) or 1 3⁄4 lbs  other white fish (chopped into small cubes. or 1 3/4 lbs substitute shrimp or 1 3/4 lbs use a combination of fish and )

• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Store in a covered glass or plastic container, lime juice should cover all ingredients; if not, add more lime juice. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. When done, the seafood should be totally opaque. Stir before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or (my favorite way) chop avocado and place in a dish. Spoon ceviche on top of avocado.
