Blog # 3 The Ingredients.....


Ceviche
2 lbs of firm shrimp, cut into 1/2 inch piece
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice (Krasdale lemon juice $1.49 each bottle 32 fl oz)
1/2 purple onion, finely diced (0.310 lb @ $0.99/lb = 0.31 cents)
1 cup of fresh peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes (1 tomatoe = 0.400 lb @ $1.49/lb= $ .60)
1 serrano chili, seeded and finely diced (0.030 lb @ $0.99/lb= 0.03 cents)
2 teaspoons of saltdash of ground oregano
dash of Tabasco or a few grains of cayenne pepper (Tabasco $ 1.29)
1 lime (4/$1.00= .25 cents each)
By choice:
Cilantro (0.99 cents each)
Avocado ($1.49 each)
Tortillas (0.99 cents a package)
Tortilla chips

You create this dish by combining all of the ingredients from above. These are natural ingredients made out of vegetables.When i make the ceviche i let the juices marinade the shrimp. The lemon juice and all the flavors have to blend in with the shrimp. For better results you should let it sit for about a couple of hours maybe 4 hours. This plate is very delicious. And as you can see it is not hard to create the plate.

Included:
Cooked Rice

When i make my cooked rice these are the instructions that i use:
I boil about 4 cups of water into a rice pot
When it is done boiling, i add 3 cups of rice (Carolina Rice $ 6.99 a bag)
salt (add as much as you want) (Diamond Crystal salt 3/$2.00= .67 cents each)
Oil (2 spoons of oil) (Mazola Corn oil $5.99)
* I always make sure the amount of water being cooked with the rice is almost the same or a little more. So it would not come out too dry or too watery!!!!!!!
