Pritikin Seafood Ceviche

The Pritikin Eating Plan recommends and incorporates the healthiest animal food choices — omega-3-rich fish such as salmon, sardines, herring, mackerel, and trout. Most other fish, plus shelled mollusks like clams and scallops, are healthy choices, too.  This is a perfect Cinco de Mayo recipe — when it’s customary to serve your favorite Latin American dishes.  Unfortunately, the most popular dishes can include cheesy, fatty appetizers, often high in fat.  Enjoy this fresh shrimp dish instead!

Many diners avoid ceviche because they can't wrap their heads around "raw fish" being cooked by the acid of lime juice, alone.   But as soon as they see this version with shrimp (also cooked by the lime juice), with that familiar pink and tasty appearance, they gobble it down.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined raw
• ▢ 1 onion (red) thinly julienned
• ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic finely minced
• ▢ 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
• ▢ ½ bushel cilantro chopped
• ▢ 1 bushel parsley chopped
• ▢ ¼ cup lemon juice and zest or use lime
• ▢ 2 bell peppers julienne

Instructions

• In a plastic or wooden bowl combine all ingredients and mix well.
• Let stand in the refrigerator over night to absorb flavors.  The acids in the citrus juice and peppers "cook" the shrimp."
• Serve in an iceberg lettuce cup or over mixed greens
