Pace Picante Ceviche!

IMG_2063

I am part of Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. I received two free jars of Pace Picante Sauce to test out in recipes that I came up with. As luck has it I came up with two of them. I tested them out on family and friends and got a 2 thumbs up. So, here is the first one..

Pace Shrimp Ceviche

Ingredients:
1 16oz jar Pace Picante Sauce (Medium heat)
1lb 41/50 Count Cooked Shrimp
1/2 C White Onion chopped and rinsed
1/2 C Lime juice
1/2 C Cilantro
1 Avocado diced
2 Tbl Olive Oil
1 C diced Cucumber

Combine shrimp and lime juice and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Mix Pace Picante Sauce, onion, cilantro, avocado, cucumber and olive oil. Add marinated shrimp along with any juice that is in bowl.

Serve with tortilla chips.

  2. Janis,
    I believe you have been instrumental in making my "eyes and mind" gain weight through your blog. My desktop's tongue is hanging out and I think I need to get a chin strap!

    You are ingenious but dangerous when packing picante!

  3. That's the first recipe I've seen that uses an entire jar of salsa all at once. I'm sure the Pace folks love this recipe! : )

  5. Hmmmm.... great idea for simple civiche but... what about starting with RAW SHRIMP instead of cooked (more traditional civiche approach so didn't take much imagination on my part...)

    YEP. Even better. Tried both ways and the raw shrimp cooks itself just fine in the lime juice in the fridge... one hour is fine for smaller shrimp but for really large guys go for 2 hrs.... and ... in any case the raw starting point means the shrimp pick up more lime flavorings and taste sweeter and a bit better texture!!!!! try it you'll like it.

  6. Marc,
    Actually raw shrimp is better. I dumbed the recipe down a bit for superbowl eats just so it would be easier.

  7. This looks absolutely delicious and easily adapted for a single serving size. Cooking for one should be just as pleasurable as for two people or a family. Love this!!
