Shrimp Ceviche

It wasn’t until around the Super Bowl that I tried shrimp ceviche for the first time. A cute little friend of mine at work brought it for our pot luck. You know, shrimp is one of those things that people either run to… or run away from! I am in the crowd that is flocking towards all the shrimp. I love it in any variety: shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp, shrimp cocktail, and more! So of course when I saw this gem in the spread of delicious goodies I was all over it. One bite and I knew I had to make it for myself. So fresh. So light. So fun. So insanely ADDICTIVE!

The lime in this dip is killer. The avocado is on point. The cucumber is light. The tomatos are the pop of color and flavor to perfectly balance it out. Pretty much this is probably my favorite dip {salsa?} that I’ve had ever. Ever. That’s saying something, because I absolutely LOVE my Cowboy Caviar, and I’ve got another great salsa in the wing that I will be sharing with you very soon. With the upcoming warm weather, you will soon be on the hunt for that perfect dish to take to your BBQ, picnic, or fun-in-the-sun gathering. I will be your go-to gal for all things light, fresh, & delicious!
