CCA Ceviche

1 pound medium shrimp, tails removed & deveined

½ cup fresh orange juice (1 large)

¼ cup fresh lime juice (1 large)

1 serrano chili, diced

½ cup red onion, diced

2 cups watermelon, cubed

1 mango, cubed

3-4 mint leaves, cut into thin strips

2 tlbs. orange zest

1 tlbs. grated ginger

Coarse sea salt

Coarse black pepper



Bring 1 quart pot of salted water to a boil and add shrimp. Turn off the heat & let the shrimp sit in the hot water until cooked thru, 2-3 minutes. This ensures the shrimp will stay tender. Drain the water & place shrimp in a large bowl. Add the citrus juices & diced serrano. Cover and marinate at least 15 minutes.



Pour off most of the juices & add the watermelon, mango, red onion, & mint. Toss lightly. Add the ginger, the orange zest, and top with the salt & pepper immediately before serving. Garnish with a sprig of mint and lime wedge.



Serves 4-6
