Happy Monday! It’s Recipe Redux time again (both yesterday and today), plus it’s my kid’s first day of school. It’s busy with blog stuff but slow here since the kids are gone. Crazy! The Recipe Redux theme for August is vacation-inspired recipes:

Recipe Redux August 2016: A Vacation-Inspired Recipe
Start unpacking your favorite vacation memories. Think about a trip you took state-side or internationally and create a healthy recipe from an unforgettable meal you enjoyed. Or, create a recipe from a native ingredient you saw or tasted on your travels.

Last year we went to Mexico and I had one of my favorite Mexican dishes there: ceviche.

Ceviche in Mexico - @thefitcookie
My ceviche in Mexico was made in the traditional way with raw fish cooked with lime juice

Ceviche is one of my favorite dishes when I go to Mexican restaurants! It’s light and typically allergy-friendly, naturally gluten and grain-free. I’ve had several different kinds of ceviche, some of them have cooked shrimp and a lime sauce, and some of them have the raw fish and celery. I’m not a celery fan so I definitely skipped that in my recipe, but if you like celery feel free to add it in there!

Since I’m a newbie at making ceviche, I decided to make it with non-traditionally with cooked shrimp instead of raw white fish. One of these days I’ll experiment with using raw fish “cooked” with lime juice, but I’m always a little skeptical about how fresh the fish is around here unless it’s just caught in a river or lake. If I’m not sure it’s fresh, I’d rather be safe than sorry!

This shrimp ceviche (aka ceviche de camaron) is also not as saucy as some of the others I have had, but I like it less saucy! If you’re serving with tortilla chips or crackers, you can add some salsa to make it saucier for dipping.
