Sherry's Succulent Shrimp "Ceviche"

Imagine me using giant air quotes to call this dish "ceviche" because you don't actually have to use raw shrimp.


  • 3 limes
  • 1/2 lb shrimp
  • 3 tomatoes
  • green pepper
  • diced white onion
  • bunch of cilantro
  • salt pepper
  • oregano
  • jalapeno
  • 1 tb white wine vinegar


This citrusy, cilantro-riddled tapa is a great way to kick-start a Spanish or South-American meal, which is exactly how I first encountered it, skinny marg in-hand.  The key is to totally overdo it with the cilantro.  You'll think, "that's probably enough" and then my advice to you is: double it.  Chop up the whole bunch and go nuts, you won't regret it.
